“Boeing’s methods must meet the highest standards to which they are legally held”. The American Civil Aviation Regulatory Agency (FAA) announced the opening of a formal investigation into a possible failure by Boeing, which may have played a role in the stalling of a door of a 737 plane MAX 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight, Thursday January 11.
The investigations must “establish whether Boeing failed to ensure that the [appareils] were in accordance with the intended design and able to operate safely”the FAA said in a statement. “This incident should never have happened and must never happen again”insisted the FAA, indicating that the 737 MAX 9s for which it had ordered inspection must remain on the ground until further notice.
A door came loose from the cabin of a Boeing 737 MAX 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight on Friday, causing minor injuries. The CEO of Boeing had recognized a “error” and was committed to ensuring that the aircraft manufacturer determines “what, in the original work, malfunctioned and allowed this failure”. Checks have already revealed loose equipment on some of their devices.
