WASHINGTON/SEATTLE - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it was investigating production issues at Boeing Co’s 737 MAX factory after an ex-manager warned that schedule pressure and worker fatigue were raising safety risks.
At the hearing, U.S. FAA chief Steve Dickson confirmed the agency will not approve Boeing’s grounded 737 MAX for flight before the end of 2019, citing a series of steps that still must be completed. The head of the International Air Transport Association, Alexandre de Juniac, warned on Wednesday that airlines were nearing the end of their ability to manage the 737 MAX shutdown smoothly.
Airlines have said they need 30 days or more to prepare their jets and crew once the FAA gives clearance for flight.
