    Jump all over Boeing when it makes sense, but this sounds like a single aircraft or crew issue if it was noted that lots of the same type of plane had been taking off correctly.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Boeing aircraft, operated by TUI, departed from Bristol Airport for Las Palmas, Gran Canaria on 9 March with 163 passengers on board when it struggled to take off.

    The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), part of the Department for Transport, said the incident was the result of insufficient thrust being used during take-off.

    The plane’s acceleration was significantly slower than 99.7 per cent of other aircraft of the same model departing the same airport, performance data collated by the AAIB showed.

    The aerospace giant’s safety standards are coming under increasing scrutiny following several recent incidents, including one where a disused door fell off a brand new 737 Max shortly after take-off.

    Five years ago, Boeing agreed to pay $2.5bn and make safety improvements after two new 737 Max jets crashed within the space of five months - one in Indonesia in 2018 and one in Ethiopia in 2019, killing a total of 346 people.

    In May US officials warned Boeing it could face criminal charges after claims the airline failed to improve plane safety and adhere to a settlement after the deadly 737 crashes.
