The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate whether Boeing employees 'falsified aircraft records' as the company grapples with a months-long safety crisis.
Federal air safety regulators have opened a fresh investigation into the Boeing 787 Dreamliner - after the firm said several employees had committed 'misconduct' by falsely claiming tests had been completed. The probe will look into whether Boeing completed inspections to confirm adequate bonding and grounding where the wings of certain 787 Dreamliner planes join the fuselage, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
'They are putting out defective airplanes' It comes weeks after a Congressional investigation in April heard evidence on the safety culture and manufacturing standards at Boeing. Sam Salehpour, a quality engineer at the company, told members of a Senate subcommittee that Boeing was taking shortcuts to bolster production levels that could lead to jetliners breaking apart.
