FAA Gives Boeing 90 Days to Fix Safety Issues or Face Potential Action
• The FAA is giving Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality and safety issues and meet standards for building planes. This follows a panel blowing off a new Boeing 737 Max last month.
• The FAA said Boeing must commit to "real and profound improvements". If Boeing fails to meet the 90-day deadline, the FAA did not indicate what action it might take.
• The FAA is auditing assembly lines at Boeing's 737 factory near Seattle after bolts helping a door panel stay in place were missing following repair work.
• A panel of experts issued a report finding shortcomings in Boeing's safety culture, which the company says it has been working to improve.
• Boeing recently replaced the executive overseeing the 737 program since 2021 and is increasing inspections at the 737 plant in Renton, Washington.
