FAA Probes Boeing Over Falsified Safety Checks on 787 Dreamliners

The investigation follows revelations that employees at a South Carolina plant skipped crucial inspections but recorded them as completed.

Boeing disclosed that some workers did not perform necessary wing-to-fuselage bonding tests, compromising aircraft safety protocols.
Despite the falsification, Boeing asserts there is no immediate safety threat to flights currently operating.
The FAA's scrutiny intensifies as Boeing struggles to recover from past safety lapses, including two fatal crashes of its 737 Max jets.
Corrective actions include stringent reevaluation of inspection processes and disciplinary measures against involved employees.
This incident could potentially affect Boeing's delivery schedules and operational efficiency, as additional inspections may be mandated.
