Government inspections and production restrictions will not end for Boeing, as authorities believe that “systemic change” is required to restore public trust in the aircraft manufacturer’s safety.
On Thursday, the aerospace behemoth sent authorities a proposal meant to raise the caliber of its aircraft.
Following the discussion, the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) director announced that the organization would keep holding weekly meetings with top officials to oversee its execution.
FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker stated, “That’s really the hard part,” but he was unable to provide an estimated timeline for the potential lifting of the present cap on plane production.
He declared, “I don’t think it will happen in the next few months.”
Since an unusable door fell from a brand-new 737 Max aircraft during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, leaving a large hole in the side of the aircraft, Boeing has been in the news.
However, there have long been worries about Boeing’s views regarding the circumstances of quality control and safety in its factories.
Five years ago, the business was heavily criticized following the loss of two 737 Max aircraft in nearly identical incidents that claimed 346 lives.
