The boss of Emirates criticized Boeing and called on its leaders to prioritize quality manufacturing over finances, in an interview with the Financial Times published Sunday.
Last November, Emirates placed a huge $52 billion order for 95 Boeing 777 and 787 jets.
The 737 Max 9, delivered 66 days earlier, lost a door plug in midair.
AdvertisementThe Wall Street Journal reported that the plane left Boeing's factory missing key bolts designed to keep the door plug in place.
And on Sunday night, several outlets reported that holes were misdrilled in 50 Boeing 737 Max fuselages, delaying deliveries.
