Hundreds Feared Dead in Air India Boeing Crash (WSJ. 20250612)

Details are emerging about today's Air India crash. The Boeing 787-8 passenger jet carrying 242 people bound for London, crashed into a residential area in the Western Indian state of Gujarat, shortly after takeoff. Indian authorities say survival of any passengers from the plane appeared remote. However, Air India, CEO Campbell Wilson indicated that some of those on board might have survived the crash. The crash upends the safety record of one of Boeing's best-selling jets, dealing a fresh blow to the beleaguered US plane maker that has been mired by safety and production issues in recent years. The company's stock fell more than 4% in early trading today. The Labor Department said today that wholesale prices in the US rose 0.1% in May from April, below economists expectations. The figures come on the heels of a report yesterday on consumer prices that showed only subdued effects so far from President Trump's trade war. Consumer prices rose 0.1% in May from the previous month, less than economists anticipated. And aerospace company JetZero said it would break ground next year on a manufacturing plant in Greensboro, North Carolina, ultimately investing nearly $5 billion. The company said that the factory will employ more than 14,500 workers, making it North Carolina's largest-ever jobs announcement. It puts JetZero on track to start rolling out a spacious fuel-efficient airplane for commercial use by 2032.

Air India의 Boeing 787 여객기가 이륙 직후 추락했다. 생존자 존재 확률에 대해서는 이견이 있다. 지난 몇 년 간 Boeing은 안전 및 생산 문제로 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 787이 추락한 것은 이번이 처음이며, 주가가 하락했다. 한편, 도매 물가는 우려했던 것만큼 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 소비자 물가에 대한 관세 정책의 여파도 제한적이었다. 한편, 항공업체 JetZero는 내년에 미 North Carolina 주에 제조 공장을 설립하겠고 발표했다. 투자 규모 및 고용자 수가 상당히 높을 전망이다. JetZero는 2032년까지 연료 효율성이 높은 항공기를 출시할 계획이다.
