"Boeing Faces FAA Deadline to Address Safety and Quality Control Issues"
TL;DR Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration has uncovered multiple issues with Boeing's production practices following an audit triggered by a door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9. The FAA identified non-compliance issues in Boeing's manufacturing process control, parts handling, and product control, and a separate report found "gaps" in Boeing's safety culture. Boeing has been given 90 days to produce a plan to address these quality issues, and the NTSB and Justice Department are also investigating potential criminal liability. This could lead to future congressional hearings and further scrutiny of Boeing's operations.
