Boeing, one of the world's leading aerospace companies, has faced a series of problems that have attracted considerable attention from both the aviation industry and the general public. Boeing's journey has been marked by turbulence, ranging from safety issues to production disruptions.

Recent defects and incidents involving Boeing aircraft have understandably caused anxiety among passengers. Baller Alert explains how to avoid these nerves.

How to avoid flying on Boeing aircraft:

  1. Research the type of aircraft: Before you book your flight, research the type of aircraft you are planning to fly. Consider avoiding flying on Boeing 737-800s until further investigation into the missing panel incident is completed and safety assurances are provided.
  2. Choose airlines with diverse fleets: Choose airlines that operate a variety of aircraft types, reducing the likelihood of flying a particular model with known issues. A diversified fleet offers flexibility and alternative options for travelers concerned about Boeing aircraft defects.
  3. Stay informed: Stay up to date with news updates and safety tips related to Boeing aircraft. Follow official statements from regulators and aviation agencies regarding specific models or airlines with safety concerns.
  4. Flexible booking options: Choose airlines that offer flexible booking policies that allow travelers to change or cancel flights without penalty. This flexibility provides peace of mind in case of last-minute changes due to aircraft changes or security issues.
  5. Report safety issues: If you notice any safety issues during your flight, don't hesitate to inform the crew or airline staff immediately. Timely reporting of problems can contribute to the safety and well-being of all passengers on board.
  6. Stay calm and alert: Although defects and incidents may occur, stay calm and alert while traveling. Familiarize yourself with the safety rules and emergency exits on the plane and follow the crew's instructions in case of any unexpected events.

As TravelWise reported, in the ongoing aerospace duel, Airbus significantly outpaced Boeing in February, delivering nearly twice as many commercial aircraft.
