I don't feel safe flying on a Boeing – can I avoid them?
The Independent|May 16, 2024
I am travelling to Las Vegas in July and have made a conscious effort to fly on British Airways with an Airbus A350 rather than Virgin Atlantic's Boeing 787.
I don't feel safe flying on a Boeing – can I avoid them?

Q With the ongoing revelations regarding Boeing's quality control, is there any way to ensure that I do not find myself on an aircraft made by that manufacturer? If any disruption were to happen, could I avoid being put onto an alternative Boeing aircraft?
