The Federal Aviation Administration is launching an audit into Southwest Airlines following a string of safety-related events.
A Southwest Airlines plane is pushed back from the gate at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, Friday, July 19, 2024 in Baltimore.. Other airlines have also experienced similar situations, but Southwest’s high-profile issues have been stacking up in recent months. The Federal Aviation Administration will conduct a Certificate Holder Evaluation Process, an audit conducted by the agency’s safety analysis and promotion division.
“SWAPA pledges our pilots’ complete cooperation with the process,” an email from the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association training and standard committee read. “As the FAA identifies areas of focus, we will communicate to our members what they can expect as well as best practices when interacting with the inspectors you may encounter during training or out on the line.
