Boeing Unveils Plan to Address Safety and Quality, FAA Halts Production Expansion
TL;DR Summary
Boeing has committed to significant changes in its manufacturing processes to address safety and quality control issues, following a 90-day review by the FAA prompted by an in-flight door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max. The FAA will maintain heightened oversight, including more inspectors and weekly meetings with Boeing leaders, until it is satisfied with the company's progress. Boeing aims to increase production later this year, but the FAA has not set a timeline for lifting the current production cap.
