Boeing 777

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is poised to launch a Boeing 777-300ER freighter conversion line in Arizona, USA, starting next year. IAI has secured a 15-year partnership agreement with Ascent Aviation Services, designating Ascent’s Marana facilities to conduct the necessary modifications on the twinjet aircraft type.

A new proposed rule by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has suggested that more GE Aerospace GE90 turbofans (powers Boeing 777) could contain compressor components with a defect related to ‘iron inclusion.’
