SEATTLE (dpa-AFX) – After the incident with a Boeing aircraft in which a part of the fuselage broke out in flight, the US aviation authority FAA is tightening its supervision of the aircraft manufacturer. The FAA will review the production of the affected 737-8 Max, including its suppliers. The authority announced on Friday that possible safety risks in the division of work will also be investigated. The day before, the FAA announced investigations against the company.
Over the weekend, the FAA ordered Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft to be grounded and inspected. The component in question closes a door opening that is not required in the model variant. On an Alaska Airlines flight on Friday last week, the part suddenly tore off shortly after takeoff while climbing. During subsequent inspections, Alaska and United Airlines also found loose fasteners in other aircraft of the type.
Boeing has reiterated several times in the past few days that it will work transparently with the aviation authority and the accident investigation agency NTSB.
In the incident, around 170 passengers escaped with horror, even though there was a hole in the fuselage. At the same time, experts pointed out that, by a lucky coincidence, the two seats directly next to the part of the fuselage that had broken out remained empty./so/DP/jha
