The Transportation Department's Inspector General has opened an investigation into the Federal Aviation Administration's approval of Boeing's 737 Max planes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday
The Journal's report of the inspector general's probe comes after the 737 Max planes were grounded for an indefinite period globally last week in the wake of two deadly accidents involving the aircraft model. The investigation will be focused on an automatic safety system implicated in the October crash involving Lion Air in Indonesia, the Journal reported, citing a government official.
The agency said in a statement, however, that its"aircraft certification processes are well established and have consistently produced safe aircraft designs."Both crashes, which occurred five months apart, remain under investigation by the Indonesia and Ethiopia governments, respectively, with the assistance of the US and Boeing. The Ethiopian Minister of Transport said Sunday that preliminary data recovered from the black boxes showed"similarities" between the two incidents.
