NTSB sanctions Boeing for 'blatantly' violating agreement by sharing non-public investigation detailsBoeing will be subject to sanctions for disclosing non-public information about an ongoing federal investigation into how a door plug blew out of one of its 737 Max 9 planes, the National Transportation Safety Board said on Thursday.
Officials accused the airplane manufacturer of "blatantly" violating a signed agreement with the NTSB, under which the company has party status to investigation information that hasn't otherwise been made public. "During a media briefing Tuesday about quality improvements at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, a Boeing executive provided investigative information and gave an analysis of factual information previously released," the NTSB said in a press release.The released added, "Both of these actions are prohibited by the party agreement that Boeing signed when it was offered party status by the NTSB at the start of the investigation.
"The NTSB is instead focused on the probable cause of the accident, not placing blame on any individual or assessing liability," officials said in the press release. The board noted that Boeing had been a party to many investigations over the last few decades, adding that "few entities know the rules better than Boeing."
