波音客機又出事!機身面板不翼而飛,惠譽下調其評級展望
波音再出事故,一客機機身面板缺失,遭FAA調查。
今年以來,波音的股價已經累計暴跌超29%,成為標普500指數工業板塊中表現最差的股票。

波音客機面板不翼而飛
美國聯邦航空管理局(FAA)表示,美聯航週五在俄勒岡州降落的一架客機上發現了一塊缺失的面板,該局正在進行調查。
據悉,美聯航的433號航班從舊金山國際機場起飛,隨後安全着陸俄勒岡州梅德福機場。不過,航空公司在着陸後檢查時發現一塊外部面板缺失。
美聯航發言人Leslie Scott透露,缺失的面板位於機身底部,機翼下方和主起落架後面。

另據FAA記錄,美聯航的這架客機於1998年底製造,距今已有25年曆史。當時,該次航班共有139名乘客和6名機組人員。
對此,美聯航介紹,缺失的面板不會影響飛機的飛行特性,並稱這架飛機在途中沒有宣佈緊急情況,在飛行過程中也沒有任何受損的跡象。
美聯航還表示,將對這架波音737-800飛機進行徹底檢查,並在其恢復服務之前進行必要的維修。
截至目前,尚不清楚這架飛機是如何、何時丟失了面板的。
自1月5日波音737Max機身左側一個窗户及大片機身脱落後,航空安全一直受到密切關注。
今年以來,波音的飛機已經出現多次事故,近十天內就出現3起:
3月7日,美聯航的一架從舊金山飛往日本大阪發波音777-200飛機在起飛不久後輪胎掉落。3月11日,一架波音787客機在從澳大利亞悉尼飛往新西蘭奧克蘭途因駕駛艙座椅發生事故,機身劇烈晃動,導致大約50人受傷。事故發生後,波音警吿操作員稱,機動駕駛艙座椅可能會卡住,建議運營商在4月26日之前進行檢查。
惠譽下調評級展望
在此背景下,波音飛機的交付也受到了影響。週五,惠譽評級下調了波音的評級展望,從“正面”調至“穩定”。
惠譽認為,波音可能需要大約12個月的時間才能實現2025年自由現金流等目標。
該機構還預計,2024年737 MAX的交付量為420-450架,比之前的預測減少約100架。
隨着波音交付的飛機減少,航空公司也不得不削減其飛行的航線數量,這可能會影響到航班的價格,並傳導至美國通脹上。
數據顯示,2月的機票價格環比上升3.6%,為2022年5月以來的最大升幅。
