The inspections will target older Boeing 737 models (not Max planes which are still grounded) that are parked for at least seven straight days, or have had less than 11 flights since being returned to service.<\/p>\n<p>The precautionary measure comes on the heels of the FAA\u2019s Emergency Airworthiness Directive that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/usa\/495762-boeing-737-engine-failure-corrosion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">instructed<\/a>\u00a0air companies to inspect some stored Boeing 737 aircraft as the air check valves on the planes could become corroded. This may cause a complete loss of power in both engines without the ability to restart and may force pilots to land before reaching an airport.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the planes affected by the FAA directive are in the US, where around 2,000 older Boeing single-aisle jets have remained grounded as the coronavirus pandemic all but erased travel demand. Meanwhile, India has also ordered three domestic operators which have Boeing 737s in their fleet \u2013 SpiceJet, Vistara, and Air India Express \u2013 to conduct inspections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/business\/495839-south-korea-boeing-737-checks\/\">RT News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>EU demands US lift tariffs \u2018IMMEDIATELY\u2019 after fulfilling WTO requirements in Airbus dispute<\/h3>\n<p>24 Jul, 2020 10:39 RT News<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/cdni.rt.com\/files\/2020.07\/article\/5f1ab23120302765733c53ff.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>FILE PHOTO: An Airbus A350 at the &#171;Franz-Josef-Strauss&#187; airport in Munich, Germany \u00a9 AFP \/ Christof Stache<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__summary summary \">The European Commission has called on the US to lift \u201cunjustified\u201d duties on EU exports or face retaliation, after aerospace giant Airbus said it had been in full compliance with World Trade Organization (WTO) rulings.<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__text text \">\n<p>European planemaker Airbus said on Friday it had taken<em>\u00a0\u201cthe final step\u201d<\/em>\u00a0to end the long-running row over subsidies, which has been at the core of the dispute between Brussels and Washington. The company said it had accepted higher interest rates on government loans it received from the French and Spanish governments to help develop its A350 jet.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cToday, the governments of France and Spain agreed with Airbus SE to modify the terms of the Repayable Launch Investment granted by them for development of the A350 aircraft to reflect market conditions,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the European Commission said regarding the decision.<\/p>\n<p>Both the manufacturer and the EU stressed that the move removes any grounds for US tariffs, which are especially damaging under the current economic circumstances, as the world continues to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. Last year, the US\u2019 punitive tariffs targeted $7.5 billion worth of EU goods \u2013 the largest-ever penalty authorized by the WTO.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cUnjustified tariffs on European products are not acceptable and, arising from the compliance in the Airbus case, we insist that the United States lifts these unjustified tariffs immediately,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Commissioner for Trade Phil Hogan.<\/p>\n<p>The bloc\u2019s top trade official added that if the sides fail to reach a settlement, Brussels will\u00a0<em>\u201cbe ready to fully avail itself of its own sanction rights.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0According to the Commission, the EU has already picked the products that could potentially fall under its retaliatory measures. It also pointed to a parallel WTO case involving unfair support for US aerospace behemoth Boeing, which could result in punitive EU duties on US goods later this year.<\/p>\n<p>The transatlantic legal battle began in 2004, when the US government accused Britain, France, Germany and Spain of providing illegal subsidies and grants to support Airbus. At the same time, the EU filed a similar complaint on US subsidies for Boeing.<\/p>\n<p>After winning a $7.5 billion award in the Airbus case, the US imposed a 10 percent tariff on most European-made Airbus jets and duties of 25 percent on a list of EU products, ranging from cheese to olives and whiskey. In June, the Trump administration escalated the trade row, threatening to levy new tariffs on $3.1 billion worth of exports from France, Germany, Spain, and the UK, prompting a strong reaction from Brussels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/business\/495715-eu-us-tariffs-airbus\/\">RT News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<!-- {\"name\":\"\\u0421\\u0442\\u0440\\u0430\\u043d\\u0438\\u0446\\u0430 \\u0441\\u0430\\u0439\\u0442\\u0430\",\"type\":\"layout\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"style\":\"default\",\"width\":\"default\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"padding_remove_horizontal\":false,\"padding_remove_top\":false,\"header_transparent_noplaceholder\":false,\"image\":\"wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/07\\\/\\u043d\\u043e\\u0432\\u043e\\u0441\\u0442\\u04381.jpg\",\"padding_remove_bottom\":false,\"padding\":\"large\",\"image_size\":\"cover\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"padding\":\"small\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"headline\",\"props\":{\"title_element\":\"h1\",\"margin_remove_top\":true,\"content\":\"\\u041d\\u043e\\u0432\\u043e\\u0441\\u0442\\u0438\",\"title_style\":\"heading-small\",\"title_color\":\"muted\"}}]}]}]},{\"type\":\"section\",\"props\":{\"style\":\"default\",\"width\":\"xlarge\",\"vertical_align\":\"middle\",\"title_position\":\"top-left\",\"title_rotation\":\"left\",\"title_breakpoint\":\"xl\",\"image_position\":\"center-center\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"row\",\"children\":[{\"type\":\"column\",\"props\":{\"image_position\":\"center-center\",\"media_overlay_gradient\":\"\",\"width_medium\":\"1-2\"},\"children\":[{\"type\":\"panel\",\"props\":{\"link_text\":\"Read more\",\"title_hover_style\":\"reset\",\"title_element\":\"h3\",\"title_align\":\"top\",\"title_grid_width\":\"1-2\",\"title_grid_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"meta_style\":\"meta\",\"meta_align\":\"below-title\",\"content_column_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"icon_width\":80,\"image_align\":\"top\",\"image_grid_width\":\"1-2\",\"image_grid_breakpoint\":\"m\",\"image_svg_color\":\"emphasis\",\"link_style\":\"default\",\"margin\":\"default\",\"panel_style\":\"card-default\",\"meta_element\":\"div\",\"image\":\"https:\\\/\\\/s3.reutersmedia.net\\\/resources\\\/r\\\/?m=02&d=20200624&t=2&i=1523314502&r=LYNXMPEG5N155&w=1280\",\"content\":\"\n\n<p><em>Failure to follow science-based advice runs contrary to expert authorities and is crippling Europe\\u2019s economies<\\\/em><\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p><strong>Brussels and Geneva<\\\/strong>\\u00a0-\\u00a0Europe\\u2019s airline and airport associations have written to Prime Ministers, Transport, Health and Home Affairs Ministers across the European Union, Schengen and the UK, setting out deep concerns over their failure to implement coherent and science-based approaches to travel restrictions.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>The letter, sent jointly from Airports Council International Europe (ACI EUROPE), Airlines for Europe (A4E) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), is highly critical of the introduction of new restrictions relating to selected countries.

Last year, the US\\u2019 punitive tariffs targeted $7.5 billion worth of EU goods \\u2013 the largest-ever penalty authorized by the WTO.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p><em>\\u201cUnjustified tariffs on European products are not acceptable and, arising from the compliance in the Airbus case, we insist that the United States lifts these unjustified tariffs immediately,\\u201d<\\\/em>\\u00a0said Commissioner for Trade Phil Hogan.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>The bloc\\u2019s top trade official added that if the sides fail to reach a settlement, Brussels will\\u00a0<em>\\u201cbe ready to fully avail itself of its own sanction rights.\\u201d<\\\/em>\\u00a0According to the Commission, the EU has already picked the products that could potentially fall under its retaliatory measures. It also pointed to a parallel WTO case involving unfair support for US aerospace behemoth Boeing, which could result in punitive EU duties on US goods later this year.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>The transatlantic legal battle began in 2004, when the US government accused Britain, France, Germany and Spain of providing illegal subsidies and grants to support Airbus. At the same time, the EU filed a similar complaint on US subsidies for Boeing.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p>After winning a $7.5 billion award in the Airbus case, the US imposed a 10 percent tariff on most European-made Airbus jets and duties of 25 percent on a list of EU products, ranging from cheese to olives and whiskey. In June, the Trump administration escalated the trade row, threatening to levy new tariffs on $3.1 billion worth of exports from France, Germany, Spain, and the UK, prompting a strong reaction from Brussels.<\\\/p>\\n\n\n<p><a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/www.rt.com\\\/business\\\/495715-eu-us-tariffs-airbus\\\/\\\">RT News<\\\/a><\\\/p>\\n<\\\/div>\"}}]}],\"props\":{\"layout\":\"1-2,1-2\",\"width\":\"xlarge\"}}]}],\"version\":\"2.5.4\"} --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041d\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438 Airlines &#038; Airports Issue Stark Warning to European PMs on Inconsistent Approach to Travel Restrictions 31 July 2020 Airlines. magazine Failure to follow science-based advice runs contrary to expert authorities and is crippling Europe\u2019s economies Brussels and Geneva\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0Europe\u2019s airline and airport associations have written to Prime Ministers, Transport, Health and Home Affairs Ministers across [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1543"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1543"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4140,"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1543\/revisions\/4140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.atcswiss.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
