"Boeing's Audit Failures and Production Issues Prompt Industry Scrutiny"
Boeing failed a large portion of an FAA audit related to the production of its 737 Max, following an incident involving an Alaska Airlines flight. Investigators are probing a New Zealand 787 incident where a LATAM Airlines flight abruptly dropped, injuring around 50 passengers. The DOJ has opened a criminal probe into Boeing, and the FAA is conducting ongoing investigations into the incidents. The union representing American Airlines pilots is calling for increased oversight of airlines and maintenance facilities, while Boeing is cooperating with investigations and making immediate changes to improve its quality control and safety.
