Boeing a plătit o amendă de 3,1 milioane de dolari pentru sute de încălcări ale normelor de siguranţă
Boeing has paid a $3.1 million fine to the FAA for safety violations, including issues related to a 2024 incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9. The FAA found numerous quality control violations at Boeing's factories and criticized the company's interference with safety personnel. The Alaska Airlines incident, where essential screws were missing, severely impacted Boeing's reputation and led to temporary flight suspensions for MAX 9 aircraft. Senator Richard Blumenthal expressed concerns that such fines are merely absorbed as business costs and do not deter unsafe practices. The FAA has since allowed Boeing to resume issuing airworthiness certificates for its 737 MAX and 787 aircraft.
