After a tragedy in Greece with Helios Airways another Astreus Airlines' B737 landed immediately when the cabin pressure was lost during its flight from Menorca to Leeds this Friday, passengers had to use oxygen masks.

Delta's flight Atlanta - Ontario landed today because the pilot cabin window was broken during the flight today.

Some carriers decided to check its fleet of B737.

British Airways already feels that on routes where B737 and A320 are used, passengers started to book more Airbus' flights. Campaign by medias, promoted by Airbus against Boeing 737 will give some results soon.

A Delta Air Lines flight headed to Ontario, Calif., from Atlanta landed here (Little Rock, Ark) after the airplane's windshield cracked.

The airplane was at 34,000 feet during the flight Saturday when the crack occurred, airport spokesman T.J. Williams said. There were no injuries reported among the 180 passengers and six crew members.

Williams said the cause of the crack was not immediately known, but he said the emergency landing was necessary because of concerns about a potential loss in cabin pressure.

A second airplane took the passengers to California.

Please provide an credible source for the last sentence. Otherwise, I will assume it's mierda del toro.

unfortunately your cultural level is too low, so I won't notice your poor message, it contains rude words which prove who you are.

Hard to find the DR relationship on a flight between California and Arkansas as well, as if anyone other than the airplane nerds care one iota that this happened.

Good for you if you don't care about people dying or aviation safety.

Sleep well Tonto... Are you really Canadian?

Signs of an aging fleet of aircraft

The Boeing 737-200, 737-300 was once the workhorse of the skies is an aging aircraft. The older model 737s are now replaced with more modern models such as the 737-400, 737-500, 700, 800 and 900. These newer 737s now offer a longer range then the older 737s thus reduces the number of their rotations (takeoffs and landings). Pressure placed on the airframe does some incredible damage as it climbs to it's flight level and then descends to it's destination. www.airdisaster.com has some data on the 737 and it's demise. Airbuses are basically a newer aircraft but not considered any better then Boeing. The so called flock to Airbus is conjecture. The 737 still rules the skies! Chances are you will be on a 737 within a week if you are a business traveler that travels often.

It's just amazing how people will just jump all over an aircraft that has flown more then any other aircraft! Yes, it is a horrible disaster regarding the Helios 737-300. However, once the investigation is completed it will turn out to be a maintenence problem and not the aircraft itself. It doesn't make a difference what is flown. Hence, these older aircraft are now being purchased by small airlines and freight companies around the world. These smaller airlines often run on minimum budgets and will attempt to "cut corners" to effect cost savings. Crews have complained about this same aircraft and it had a decompression incident before this disaster.

Nothing to do with the DR, if he has his way every loose nut and bolt on every airplane in the world would be reported here instead of the point of the forum - airline and airport and flight information relevant to the DR for the aid of those travelling to the DR.

It isn't to opine on cracked windhields 2000 miles away.

Which didn't involve anyone dying either.

AA would use the 737 out of Florida to DR. Also, Continental has used the 737 for years out of EWR to DR. Seems reliable.

I don't know about people booking more flights with Airbus than Boeing. The majority of passengers need to get from point A to B and typically will not make their route decisions based on the plane.

Rick, lighten up. The OP pointed out the recent accidents involving 737's. While none of them directly involved the DR, they do fly 737's into the DR.
