Aero-News Quote of the Day

“All new entry into service aircraft will exhibit reliability and technical issues, it was no different for the Airbus A380. Teething problems often occur in the first two years and with such cutting edge technologies as have been introduced on the 787 it is not surprising. The safety systems that have been implemented are going to err on the side of caution. It is too early to speculate on the root cause of today’s (Wednesday's) cabin smoke incident.” Source: Phil Seymour Chief Operating Officer of the International Bureau of Aviation (IBA)
