To be fair, that's an engine problem and they aren't made by Boeing.

Knowing Boeing, they probably installed them wrong, broke them, left a tool inside, etc.

These days engines are usually leased separately from their planes and the leasing company provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul with their own MRO provider or a third party of their choice. Boeing wouldn't be involved.

[hi-v-rocknroll]

The scarier trend is airlines shopping around for the cheapest MRO in South America.

That's not really a funny or helpful comment generally, but especially not since the plane in question (C-FIUV) is over 16 years old...

[tedunangst]

Kinda weird that it took 30 years for someone to notice the engine was backwards, no?

[OutOfHere]

Boeing contracts them, so Boeing is ultimately responsible, of course.

[duskwuff]

I don't think that's true. As I understand it, jet engines are manufactured, sold, and maintained separately from the airframe. They're interchangeable components, and often get swapped out when they need maintenance.
