The American agency has severely criticized Boeing security cultivation as well as ineffective monitoring by the FAA.
Boeing did not provide adequate training, advice and surveillance to prevent a Outdoor cabin panel gap With a new flight 737 Max 9 in January 2024, which turned the Planmemaker in a major crisis, said United States Transportation Safety Board.
On Tuesday, the board of directors severely criticized the security culture of Boeing and its inability to install four key bolts in a new Alaska Airlines Max 9 during production, as well as ineffective monitoring of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The president of the NTSB, Jennifer Homendy, said at a meeting of the Board of Directors that the incident was entirely avoidable because the plan of the plant plan should have tackled the unauthorized production which was identified in many internal audits of Boeing, reports and other forums for at least 10 years.
“The security gaps that led to this accident should have been obvious to Boeing and the FAA,” said Mumendy. “It is nothing less than a miracle that no one has died or has undergone serious physical injuries.”
Boeing’s under -the -day training was lacking, said the NTSB, adding that the Planmemaker is working on an improvement in the design which will guarantee that the door cap cannot be closed until it is firmly secure.
The accident encouraged the United States Ministry of Justice to open a criminal investigation and declare that Boeing was not in accordance with a deferred prosecution agreement in 2021. CEO, Dave Calhoun, announced that it would resign in the few months after the eruption of the Midir panel.
Mumendy congratulated Boeing’s new CEO Kelly Ortberg, but said: “He has bread for him, a lot of challenges, and it will take time.”
Boeing said that he regretted the accident and continued to work on strengthening security and quality through his operations.
The FAA said on Tuesday that it had “fundamentally changed the way he has supervised Boeing since the Alaska Airlines door accident and we will continue this aggressive surveillance to guarantee that Boeing solves its systemic quality of production problems”.
Damaged reputation
The incident seriously damaged Boeing’s reputation and led to the land of the max 9 for two weeks as well as a production ceiling of 38 planes per month by the FAA, which remains in place.
“While Boeing is progressing, we will not lift the monthly production ceiling 737 until we are convinced that the company can maintain security and quality while manufacturing more planes,” added the FAA.
Boeing did not create any paperwork for the removal of the Max 9 Max 737 door cap – a piece of door in the shape of a door covering an unused emergency exit – or its resettlement during production, and still does not know which employees were involved, the NTSB said on Tuesday.
FAA administrator Michael Whitaker said in June 2024 that the agency was “too ready” in Boeing Oversight and stimulated the number of inspectors at Boeing and the Fuselage Max manufacturer, Spirit Aerosystems, factories.
Boeing agreed last July for plead guilty to an accusation of criminal fraud conspiracy after two fatal accidents of 737 max in Indonesia and Ethiopia. But he concluded last month an agreement with the United States Ministry of Justice Avoid guilty plea.
The Ministry of Justice asked a judge to approve the agreement, which will allow Boeing to avoid pleading guilty or to face surveillance by an external instructor.
Earlier this month, Boeing problems resurfaced when an India air flight crashed shortly after takeoff of the west city of Ahmedabad, killing everything except on board. The piloted plane was a Dreamliner of almost 12 years. The investigations behind this accident are currently underway.
