The Federal Aviation Administration ordered all MD-11 planes temporarily grounded after last week’s crash of a United Parcel Service cargo jet in Louisville, Ky., killed at least 14 people.

On Saturday the FAA said its emergency airworthiness directive responded to an “accident where the left-hand engine and pylon detached” during takeoff. The regulator’s order didn’t note what might have caused the engine to detach, WSJ’s Lyle Brennan, Benjamin Katz and Drew FitzGerald report.

The order prohibits all MD-11 flights until the airplanes are inspected and their owners perform FAA-approved corrective actions. UPS had said late Friday that it was grounding its MD-11 fleet at the recommendation of the jet’s manufacturer, Boeing. MD-11s account for about 9% of the UPS Airlines fleet, the company added. FedEx later said that it was following suit. About 70 MD-11 Freighter jets are currently in operation.

Flight cancellations across the U.S. could rise to 15%—or even 20%—if the government shutdown continues, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday. Cirium data showed a cancellation rate of about 5% as of Sunday afternoon, with about 6.5% of flights canceled Saturday. The FAA started with traffic cuts of 4% at select airports Friday, with plans to increase to 6% of capacity by tomorrow, 8% by Thursday and 10% by Friday.

U.S. monthly imports are forecast to fall through the beginning of next year after retailers rushed in goods to get ahead of tariffs and stock up for the holidays, the WSJ Logistics Report’s Liz Young reports. The National Retail Federation’s Global Port Tracker estimates that imports will fall through the rest of the year to 1.75 million loaded containers, measured in 20-foot equivalent units, in December, the lowest level since March 2023.

January imports are forecast at 1.98 million boxes, down 11% year over year; February at 1.85 million containers, down 9%; and March at 1.79 million containers, down nearly 17%. Although the U.S.’s on-again, off-again trade policies has made it difficult for importers to plan, The NRF said retailers expect to have stocked shelves for the upcoming holiday season after bringing in extra merchandise to get ahead of tariffs.

Nexperia microchips are leaving China again, easing a shortage of simple but ubiquitous parts that threatened to paralyze the auto industry. The Journal’s Stephen Wilmot and Raffaele Huang write that German automotive supplier Aumovio, which was spun out of tire giant Continental, said the Sino-Dutch company’s semiconductors and components containing them were on their way from China to Aumovio’s distribution hub in Hungary.

The shipments are the first clear sign that Nexperia chip supplies are flowing more freely. China's commerce ministry earlier this month said it would grant export licenses in eligible cases. Beijing moved to halt exports of Nexperia chips last month after the Dutch government seized control of the company from its Chinese owner Wingtech, sparking warnings from automakers that they would have to suspend operations.
