Boeing says all 777s with same engine now grounded after United Airlines fire
Boeing Co on Monday said that all 777 jets with the same engine that shed debris over Denver at the weekend are now grounded, news agency AFP reported.
In a statement Sunday, the company had recommended that all the aircraft concerned should be grounded as US regulators investigated a United Airlines flight which was forced to return to Denver airport after one of its engines caught fire and broke up.
The announcement came in the backdrop of Boeing earlier urging airlines to suspend the use of 777s after U.S. regulators announced extra inspections and Japan suspended their use while considering further action.
