"Ryanair's Increased Oversight of Boeing Prompts Quality Control Checks"

Boeing has asked Ryanair to send extra engineers to oversee quality checks of its planes following the Alaska Airlines incident where an unused door fell off a Boeing 737 Max 9. Ryanair's CEO expressed concerns about Boeing's quality control processes but stated that the airline now has "more confidence" in the plane maker. Ryanair will deploy more engineers to oversee quality control at Boeing's US factories, and Boeing announced that an outside party would assess its production practices. The US regulator extended the grounding of 737 Max's with similar fuselage panels, and Boeing appointed an independent advisor to oversee a review of its quality control systems for its commercial aircraft.
