737 Max

Boeing has uncovered more trouble at the production level of the 737 Max that will force the aerospace giant to rework some 50 aircraft before they can be delivered.

The jet manufacturer has outlined steps for production improvement.

Aircraft with the same style door plug that departed an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 in flight now face scrutiny.

The company’s Commercial Airplane Division is focusing on quality assurance of the 737 production line.

The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of passengers from Alaska Airlines Flight 1282.

With the door plug recovered, the team is heading back to Washington, D.C.

Federal officials have found the fuselage door plug blown off the Alaska Airlines flight on Friday night out of Portland, Oregon.

Only minor injuries were sustained when a section of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 900 blew out during flight on Friday, January 5.

Boeing has urged all airlines that fly the 737 Max to inspect their rudder-control system for a possible loose bolt.

Aircraft manufacturing giant predicts the expected explosion in demand will also require more than 433,000 new aviation personnel.
