Boeing said it has discovered a manufacturing issue with some 737 Max aircraft, although it insisted the problem is not “an immediate safety of flight issue.” A supplier used a “non-standard manufacturing process” during the installation of two fittings in the rear fuselage, Boeing said in a statement to CNN. The company said Max jets can continue flying while inspections are underway and the Federal Aviation Administration said it “validated” that conclusion.
” Southwest Airlines\n \n said it would work with Boeing on “any needed inspections or part replacements.” Boeing\n \n has reported only two profitable quarters in the nearly four years since the grounding of the 737 Max. After two fatal crashes that killed 346 people, the jet was grounded for 20 months starting in March 2019.
