A Boeing commercial airplane skidded off the runway while taking off in Senegal on Thursday, causing injuries to 11 individuals and closing the international airport near the capital Dakar for nearly 12 hours, airport management announced. The B737/300 plane, which belonged to Air Senegal and was operated by the privately-owned company Transair, was carrying 78 passengers and was en route to the Malian capital Bamako.

 It has been 15 years since the last fatal crash of a U.S. airliner, but you would never know that by reading about a torrent of flight problems in the last three months.

The FAA in late January took the unprecedented step of telling Boeing it would not allow the company to expand 737 MAX production.

The NTSB still doesn’t know who worked on the panel that detached from a jetliner in January and Boeing’s CEO said he couldn't provide the information.

The Boeing plane used by Alaska Airlines experienced the blowout seven minutes after taking off from Portland, Oregon, which forced the pilots to make an emergency landing.
