Raymond James analyst Savanthi Syth wrote in a research note Thursday that the findings from the 737 NG inspections could “potentially take up to 4% of capacity off-line between mid-Oct and mid-Dec.”
Planes with cracks “may need to be taken out of the fleet for up to 60 days for maintenance,” Syth said. The FAA last week said inspections would look for “cracking of the left and right hand side outboard chords of frame fittings and failsafe straps.” It added that the cracking “could adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane and result in loss of control of the airplane.”
Aircraft with more than 30,000 cycles must be inspected within seven days, while planes between 22,600 and 29,999 cycles must be inspected within 1,000 cycles, which typically correspond to the number of flights. In total, 1,911 U.S. 737 NGs are covered by the FAA directive.
