        Canadian manufacturer, but took off from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. I assume a maintenance issueis the cause, but that may be a poir explanation.

          It is a poor explanation, because all signs point to pilot error in manual landing compounded by weather. 33kt cross wind gusts, coming in fast to accommodate for if the gusts disappear, and not flaring soon enough and not leveling out because of crabbing the cross wind which was blowing snow across the runway giving poor visibility of the runway itself. But we’ll see the investigation results.

        Both: Airlines from other countries refuse to fly in US airspace because of dangerous ATC and planes from the US are refused entrance in the airspace of other countries because the FAA isn’t trusted to enforce proper maintenance schedules on planes from US companies and other countries don’t want the additional cases of planes falling from the sky or crashing on landing that would result from de facto unregulated air travel safety in the US.

        Also Boeing sales would suffer if the FAA was officially deemed in other countries to not have equivalence with their local air-travel regulators when it came to oversight of plane manufacturing because it wasn’t actually doing the job of preserving the safety of air-travel.

      He is speedrunning isolation if this happens. US and EU relations are already at their breaking point after. Threatening to go to war with Denmark and his Ukraine visit.
