After the incident involving a Boeing aircraft in which part of the fuselage broke off during flight, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is tightening supervision of the aircraft manufacturer. The FAA will review production of the affected 737-9 Max, including its suppliers. The authority announced on Friday that possible safety risks in the distribution of work are also being investigated. The day before, the FAA announced investigations against the company.
Last weekend, the FAA ordered the grounding and inspection of Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft. The relevant part closes a door opening that is not necessary for the model variant. During an Alaska Airlines flight last Friday, the part suddenly tore off shortly after takeoff while climbing. During subsequent inspections, Alaska and United Airlines also found loose fasteners on other aircraft of this type.
Boeing has reiterated several times in recent days that it will cooperate transparently with the aviation authority and the accident investigation agency NTSB.
In the incident, about 170 passengers escaped in horror, even though there was a hole in the fuselage. At the same time, experts pointed out that by a fortunate coincidence, the two seats directly next to the broken-out part of the fuselage remained empty. (sda/awp/dpa)
