New York (AFP) - US aviation regulators on Tuesday ordered inspections of all Pratt & Whitney engines similar to the one that broke up on a Boeing 777 passenger plane over Denver at the weekend, directing the tests be carried out before any return to service.

While no one was injured in the Denver incident, the episode is the latest setback for Boeing, which only recently resumed deliveries ...

He said he had consulted with his team of aviation safety experts following Saturday's engine failure aboard a Boeing 777 airplane shortly after it took off from Denver. "I have directed them to issue an Emergency Airworthiness Directive that would requ...
