FAA Probes Boeing Over 787 and 787 Max Dreamliner Inspection Records

May 6, 2024, 10:45 PM

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has opened a new investigation into Boeing concerning potential falsifications of safety and inspection records for the 787 Dreamliner, including the 787 Max. This inquiry was prompted after Boeing voluntarily disclosed in April that it may not have completed all required inspections, specifically those involving the bonding of wings to the fuselage. The investigation will determine if Boeing employees failed to perform some quality inspections or falsified records.
