(Just don’t fly, atleast in western europe the Bus / Train system mostly makes short haul flights obsolete)

Glad everyone survived. I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory in Europe (and Canada?) that all airliners have built-in engine fire extinguisher bottles. These are routed inside the engine itself and there’s a switch inside the cockpit that activates them. The switch shuts off fuel to the engine and sprays it. If US airliners are flying around with no means of combatting an engine fire in flight (implied here since they had to wait for outside help) then that is very concerning.

Ok I’ll buy an airbus next time

You want to fly EU and also not find yourself on a flight dependent on our traffic control. The Fitzgerald is going down.

A only European plane is not for tomorrow. There are plenty of part that European don’t manufacture in the A320 like electronic and engine.

And the engine in the stories is half American Half french.

Boycotting aircraft will be a harder process. Airbus is in a strong position as Boeing struggle with QA and production rate. Every body is looking to buy a A320. They buy a Boeing because Airbus have such a waiting list that your plane won’t be delivered before 2030.

So maybe let just ask Airbus or the Europeans Commission to invest and plan for a 100% European part plane.

If the engines on fire why are they all out on the wing??
