"Boeing's Ongoing Challenges: More Issues Found with 737 MAX Fuselages"
TL;DR Summary
Boeing has discovered misdrilled holes on some 737 Max fuselages, prompting plans to rework about 50 undelivered airplanes. While the issue does not pose immediate safety concerns, it could delay near-term deliveries. The problem was identified by an employee at Spirit AeroSystems, the fuselage manufacturer, and has led Boeing to dedicate time to focus on quality inspections at its Renton, Wash., factory. This comes as Boeing faces heightened scrutiny following a recent door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight and ongoing fallout from the 737 Max's previous grounding due to flight-control system issues.
