BBC World Service - World Business Report, Boeing failure: US Secretary Antony Blinken was forced to change planes

America's top diplomat returned to Washington by commercial flight

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been grounded in Switzerland after his plane the modified Boeing 737 jet had a "critical failure" due to an oxygen leak.

To say it hasn't been a great 2024 for Boeing, is an understatement. The panel that fell off the Alaska Airlines plane on January 5 has led to a major investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration, and a rough time for Boeing shares. 

So what's happened to one of the most reliable companies in the world?

Also, in the programme, we will find out how many female CEOs run airlines and what the reason behind raise of US retail sales.
