Safety regulators have twice halted deliveries of new 787s after finding production flaws and will now conduct final inspections themselves instead of delegating that authority to Boeing
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency announced a modified version of the 737 Max will be allowed to fly once again. The Max jetliner was grounded worldwide after two deadly crashes.
The airplane manufacturer admits deceiving regulators about the safety of a flight control system blamed in two crashes that killed 346 people. Critics call the settlement "a slap on the wrist."
The scathing report alleged that the FAA retaliated against whistleblowers, and said Boeing officials improperly influenced the outcome of tests of the aircraft's faulty flight control system.
Just two weeks ago, U.S. regulators cleared Boeing's 737 Max to fly following the deadly crashes of two of the planes in 2018 and 2019. Now Boeing is reporting an order for 75 of the aircraft.
FAA chief Stephen Dickson says his agency is "in the final stages of reviewing" changes Boeing has made to the aircraft after two deadly crashes and could finish the evaluation "in coming days."
