Jet Airways have been forced to park another 15 aircraft after they've failed to receive a bail out from its consortium of lenders, led by the State Bank of India. The carrier disclosed the additional groundings in a statement. It now has 70 aircraft out of operation owing to “non-payment to lessors”. It is unclear which types have been grounded, but it appears that it has mostly affected its Boeing 737 fleet.

The Federal Aviation Administration expects to receive Boeing's final B737 MAX software update in the "coming weeks." The FAA states that 'time is needed for additional work by Boeing as an ongoing review of the 737 MAX flight control system, to ensure that Boeing has identified and properly addressed all of the relevant issues'. Upon receipt, the FAA will subject the updated software to a 'rigorous safety review'. The FAA added that they will not approve the software for installation until the agency is contented with the review.

Singapore Airlines has grounded a pair of Boeing 787-10s owing to premature deterioration of the high pressure turbine (HPT) blades in their Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN engines. Singapore Airlines operates nine 787-10s. The only other Trent-powered 787-10 is a single example delivered recently to All Nippon Airways. The other 12 787-10s in service - including one operated by Boeing - are powered by General Electric GEnx-1Bs. Previously the Trent 1000 suffered durability issues with their intermediate pressure compressor blades, requiring redesign work. Rolls-Royce added that they are working on finding a fix to the wear issue.
