An American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing in California on Wednesday evening after the pilot reported a potential mechanical issue with the Boeing 777 aircraft, the airline said.
Flight 345, which had taken off from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, landed at Los Angeles International Airport at around 8:45 p.m. without any incident, according to American Airlines. The plane was able to taxi to the gate under its own power, and passengers disembarked as usual.
There have been at least six reported incidents involving Boeing planes in the past week. It was reported that a blown tire might have caused the emergency landing, but American Airlines did not confirm this.
No injuries were reported among the crew and passengers following the emergency landing. The aircraft in question is a 23-year-old Boeing 777, according to Airfleets Aviation.
Several unrelated issues have been reported with Boeing planes recently. On Monday, a United Airlines flight traveling from Sydney to San Francisco had to turn around due to a fuel leak.
Hours earlier, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner flying from Sydney to Auckland experienced a technical issue that resulted in injuries to 50 passengers. Last week, a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Osaka, Japan, made an emergency landing in Los Angeles after it lost a tire while in the air.
they said they wanted us little people to stop flying to save the planet…looks like having all the planes fall apart and then have them flown by unqualified Biden voters, while they fly with the best pilots on their own private jets, looks to be proceeding according to plan
I spent decades in the aviation field. These types of issues happen every DAY. They always have. The only thing that has changed is for some reason it’s become a priority to report them.
No evidence to back any claim of dei.

Im no fan of DEI, but we have to quit using that term to describe reasons for every ill of a bankrupt airplane industry. Their ills began when they stopped designing planes to higher design speeds and instead began cheapening the product.
Qiut designing and building the product in multiple countries and build them to withstand a cruise of 700 mph. That will preserve passenger safety
