That’s no one’s business but the Turks.
It’s The Guardian.
Wikipedia has a list of commercial airliners currently in production:

Airbus and Boeing are about the only large-aircraft brands that are in use.
Wonder if we’re hearing about problems that Airbus planes have?
Q: Why did Constantinople get the works?

Also sounds like they have a serous maintenance issue read a few years ago they were having maintenance done in the muddle east to cut operation costs not sure if true?.
As much as I despise some of the terrible things that Boeing has done. They are now constantly being attacked for things that are most likely not their fault. The mob rules.
Yesterday they said it was alleged in some place that inspector supervisors checked off that they had done a list of inspections but actually skipped them.
The problem is not really the things that don’t move and should. It’s much more the things that move and shouldn’t.
it is private maintenance problems. everything on a plane is handled daily by mechanics checked before take offs and parts changed out on a schedule. DEI kills, oopsies hurts, you can’t have a bad day when 57 nuts with wires had to be installed at the correct torque and count your tools before and after use.
The correct terminology is “nose gear.”
This failure seems so common I have to ask, “Are passenger jets strengthened in the nose wheel area to repair the plane for easier re-use after such incidents?”
My guess is “no”, but thought I’d ask.
They're still in production -- cargo and tanker versions. And they have the same landing gear.
That said, it is very unlikely this was some kind of factory issue, though FedEx has received some new 767s in recent years. I don't know when this one was manufactured.
Industrial competitive sabotage? Planted operatives paid by other companies?
