Boeing 777s must replace faulty parts, not just disconnect them

US aviation regulators now require Boeing 777 operators to replace specific faulty electrical parts, instead of just disconnecting them. This means airlines must install new, redesigned modules to fix a known safety issue.

Airlines previously only had to disconnect certain electrical components on Boeing 777s to address a safety concern. Now, they must actively replace these parts with a new design. This shifts the solution from a temporary workaround to a permanent fix, ensuring the aircraft's electrical systems are fully functional and safe.
