Ghana Bans A Delta Boeing 767 (Yes, Just One)

Seems the best way to get the airlines attention ! ! !

As a Diesel Mechanic of a fleet, there’s alway one unit that will give is more problems than the rest. We fix one problem today and when the unit comes back next week, it will have another issue and so on. I think this aircraft is the same.

I'm flying BOS-DUB at the end of this month...I think I know which aircraft I'll get :-)

Another great article...

Nearly 25 years old and multiple delays, diversions, and cancellations to its credit in the span of about a month. Looks like a lemon to me and getting more obviously so every day. My advice to Delta is to send this plane on a one way trip to Victorville next time you take delivery of another A330. Till then, either park it or confine it to domestic duty. If an exception needs to be made, at the least it never visits Africa again. Transpacific routes are probably a bad idea as well.

I don't that that this action is unreasonable. Ghana should have the right to ban a "hangar queen" from its airspace. This is beyond an embarrassment for Delta Airlines.

I think it's time for one last revenue flight from ATL to PHX and just repo it to the boneyard. That is if it can even block out of the gate and take off successfully.

Is there a lemon law for old planes? Maybe this one was ready for retirement.

Atlanta native here. We have banned all of Delta's jets from our lives. We fly Southwest, Frontier and Spirit and are happier than ever. We get to our vacation destinations without delays, for much less $$ and on better aircraft. Kudos to Ghana.

Easy fix for Delta, change the Registration number for one roundtrip. Lol... (cheaper than fixing the aircraft)

There are at least three possible truths to what is wrong. A coin that flipps to heads 10 times in a row may still be a perfectly fair coin and it is just luck. There may be a systematic flaw in maintenance. Or, it's a lemon, like many cars manufactured on a Friday.
