Impact of Air India Crash
A key reason for the change in GE Aerospace’s stock today is the crash of an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. The plane went down shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad, India. The aircraft had GE Aerospace’s GEnx-1B engines. This caused quick concerns in the market. The company has called in its emergency response team. A team is heading to India to look at the cockpit data from the crash.
This is the first crash of a Boeing 787 since its launch. It’s an important event for both Boeing and GE Aerospace. The crash led to 242 deaths and forced Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad to shut down temporarily.
