The federal audit of plane manufacturer Boeing found over thirty failures in the company's operations. The investigation — launched earlier this year following an incident in which an air panel blew off an Alaska Airlines plane mid-flight — was conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration. Boeing failed 33 aspects of the audit with a total of 97 points of noncompliance, according to The New York Times. The company passed 56 points of the audit.
5 incident when a new Boeing 737 Max 9 had its plug door panel blow off during an Alaska Airlines flight at 16,000 feet, which caused the cabin to depressurize and the flight to return safely to Portland International Airport in Oregon. The door panel appeared to be missing four key bolts, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board that was released last month.
