Boeing finds new flaws in 787 jets: sources
STORY: Boeing has found more quality problems on its jets. Reuters sources say the issues this time concern its 787 widebody planes. They say the aerospace giant has found hundreds of incorrectly tightened fasteners on some undelivered aircraft. The sources say the problem was discovered at plant in South Carolina, with the fasteners found to have been tightened from the wrong end. There is no immediate concern about flight safety, but one source says Boeing is trying to understand how the problem arose - and how much work it must do to remedy the issue.The company confirmed the checks to Reuters, and said there would be no impact on deliveries. Even so, it’s another concern for investors after a series of quality control issues at the company. Some of its big-selling 737 MAX jets were grounded for a time earlier this year after a midair blowout on one of the planes. The Federal Aviation Administration has blocked a plan to raise output of the model, while Boeing takes steps to ensure manufacturing quality. Regulators said they were aware of the new concerns regarding the 787, and would work with the company to determine appropriate action. Boeing shares are down around 30% this year amid all the problems.

EU's tariffs may stall SAIC's exports of EV but do little to keep BYD at bay, analysts say
The European Union's proposed import tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) will do little to keep Chinese brands at Europe's gate, as the most innovative and cost-effective assemblers like BYD can overcome any hurdle, analysts said. "The tariffs will only affect Chinese brands' exports to Europe in the near term," said Guotai Junan Securities analyst Wu Xiaofei. That is a relief for an industry that had been awaiting the EU's nine-month anti-subsidy investigation, which culminated this week in puni

Security 'Carnage' at Birmingham Airport as Liquid Checks Cause Delays
Airlines operating at Birmingham Airport told holidaymakers to arrive early on Friday, June 14, as passengers were facing hours-long lines caused by confusion over luggage liquid regulations.Footage captured at the airport on Friday morning by Russell White shows long lines stretching outside the terminal building.“Carnage at Birmingham airport, 3 lanes of queuing at 4 am,” White wrote on X.According to the Birmingham Mail, a “new Government directive was issued nationwide across all ports from last Sunday with a late change restricting passengers to 100 ml in liquids, gels and pastes and hand-luggage. That limit was already in place at Birmingham Airport but the restriction was said to be hampering the venue’s ability to use new security machines, which were set up to cater for larger amounts.”The paper said a “larger liquid check facility” would be in place from next week.

Swedish government says no to new power cable to Germany
The Swedish government has turned down an application to build a new subsea power connection between Sweden and Germany, the 700 megawatts Hansa PowerBridge project, because the German market is not efficient enough, it said on Friday. "We can't connect southern Sweden, which has a large deficit in electricity production, with Germany, where the electricity market today does not function efficiently," Energy Minister Ebba Busch said in a statement. "That would risk leading to higher prices and a more unstable electricity market in Sweden," she said.
