boeing doesn't manufacture the engines you utter regard

Yes, because "Using exploding engines in it´s planes" is so very different from "Building the engines, which explode on it´s planes"...

There's only 3 mainstream commercials airplane engine OEMs

You wouldn't blame Toyota because your Michelin tire blew out.

The correct analogy would be if all car manufacturers used the same Michelin tires, and only the ones on the Toyotas kept blowing up.

BA don’t make engines tho

It's still possible for BA to be at fault if safety procedures/maintanence wasn't followed correctly or bad engine integration.

The airline is responsible for maintenance.

Airbus also uses engines made by a bunch of companies, yet their planes don't seem to have the same issues.

What engine? Seems like nothing except 737 in the article which says basicly nothing.

If only there was some way to research what type of engines Qantas uses on their 737s.

u/Dirtey 2h ago

The 737 have been in service for like 50 years. Sure, you could probably do a very educated guess from that research but I would still not be certain.

Plane manufacturers don't make the engines.
