Signage outside the Boeing Co. manufacturing facility in Renton, Washington, US, on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024. The acting head of Europe's aviation regulator said on Wednesday the agency would halt its indirect approval of Boeing's jet production if warranted, but he feels reassured that the plane maker is tackling its latest safety crisis. Asked if EASA would be prepared to stop recognizing U.S. production safety approvals declaring that Boeing jets are built safely, Tytgat said, "If need be, yes." The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, said last week an audit of Boeing and supplier Spirit AeroSystems found multiple instances of poor controls. Under a transatlantic pact, the FAA and EASA regulate the factories of their respective plane makers — Boeing and Airbus — and recognize each other's safety approvals.

☆ Boeing couldn't give investigators key video of the Alaska blowout 737 Max being repaired because it deletes security footage after 30 days
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

The NTSB is looking for security camera footage of work done on the Alaska Airlines blowout plane. The planemaker previously said it also couldn't find records of work done on the door plug. In its preliminary report, the NTSB said the jet left Boeing's factory without key bolts that keep the door plug secured. A Boeing spokesperson told Business Insider that the planemaker's standard practice is to maintain security footage on a rolling 30-day period. The incident aircraft was in Boeing's factory in September 2023 and delivered to Alaska Airlines a month later.

LATAM called it a “technical event.” Boeing said it’s working to gather more information. Between lawsuits, potential fines and lost business, Boeing could lose billions more dollars from the blowout. In February, pilots on a United Airlines 737 Max reported that the flight controls jammed as the plane landed in Newark. The FAA is allowing the planes to continue flying and Boeing said the problem does not pose an immediate safety risk. And the FAA said Boeing’s safety and quality problems extend beyond its inability to produce paperwork.

Boeing said on Thursday it had reached a $51 million settlement with the U.S. State Department for numerous export violations including Chinese employees in China improperly downloading documents related to U.S. Defense Department programs.

Boeing said it was "committed to our trade controls obligations, and we look forward to working with the State Department under the agreement." Boeing voluntarily disclosed the violations, which mostly occurred before 2020, and the government documents did not allege disclosure of classified material. The settlement includes a three-year consent agreement and $51 million civil penalty, of which $24 million will be suspended by the State Department so Boeing can use the funds for remedial compliance measures to strengthen its compliance program.

A Boeing 777-9 jetliner aircraft is pictured on the tarmac during the 2023 Dubai Airshow at Dubai World Central - Al-Maktoum International Airport in Dubai on Nov. 13, 2023. Boeing Co said on Sunday it will have to do more work on about 50 undelivered 737 Max airplanes, potentially delaying near-term deliveries, after its supplier Spirit AeroSystems discovered two mis-drilled holes on some fuselages. "This past Thursday, a supplier notified us of a non-conformance in some 737 fuselages. "While this potential condition is not an immediate flight safety issue and all 737s can continue operating safely, we currently believe we will have to perform rework on about 50 undelivered airplanes," Deal said. The checks focus on potentially incorrect positioning of two holes on a window frame assembly supplied by Spirit, a condition known as "short edge margin," the sources said.
