(AOF) – Boeing is at the bottom of the Dow Jones this Thursday with a drop of 0.80% to 260.02 dollars after the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) announced that it was closely monitoring the targeted inspections of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft carried out for Check for a loose bolt in the rudder control system. In consultation with the federal regulator, Boeing issued a multi-operator message, urging operators of newer single-aisle aircraft to inspect their aircraft.
Boeing recommended the inspections after an international operator discovered a bolt with a missing nut while performing routine maintenance on a rudder control linkage mechanism. The group also discovered another undelivered aircraft with a nut that was not properly tightened.
The FAA will consider additional action based on any subsequent discovery of loose or missing hardware. The regulator announces that it will remain in contact with the manufacturer and the companies during the duration of the inspections.
Boeing plans record production of the B737 of at least 57 aircraft per month by July 2025, Reuters announced in October. This production rate would allow the manufacturer to reach a production target abandoned in 2019 after the grounding of all 737 MAXs around the world following two deadly accidents in Ethiopia and Indonesia.
