Boeing Faces New FAA Probe of 787 Dreamliner Model
Yeah. This is another blow for Boeing in terms of they’re already under scrutiny from the regulators about the 737 Max and now the 787 is also in the crosshairs. And that sort of follows A whistleblower saying that essentially the plane maker didn’t do sufficient testing and possibly falsified data on tests about the wing being joined to the fuselage. And so it’s fairly significant and serious for Boeing and. They’ve said so far that it doesn’t affect the in service fleet, but the regulators have asked Boeing to come up with a testing and a sort of check mandate for that and that’s really going to be key in how sort of in service fleet performs as well as new delivery. So we’re still waiting for details from Boeing on what that means for deliveries of aircraft going forward as well on the 77 program.
