The 26th Annual International Women In Aviation Conference that took place last week was a rousing success that will have a continuing effect on the thousands of attendees.
The fact that the usually sunny Dallas, Texas location was covered with a blanket of snow when attendees arrived did not put a chill on the conference. The Boeing South Carolina facility has now been approved by the FAA to produce the 787-9 Dreamliners. This was achieved through the addition of this facility to the company’s production certificate. The certificate is issued once an airplane manufacturer has demonstrated to the FAA that its facilities and quality management system meet the agency's safety and reliability requirements. The McDonnell Douglas MD-80, once the staple of the American Airlines Fleet, will see its last service with the carrier in 2017, according to information on financing filed by the airline. The MD-80 have largely been replaced by the Boeing 737-800, which the filing calls the backbone of the American Fleet. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
