FAA Mandates New 787 Engine Inspections Amidst Boeing Scrutiny and 777X Testing Halt

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued its third directive requiring new inspections of the Boeing 787's engine anti-ice system after identifying a potential safety concern. This measure adds to the growing scrutiny Boeing faces over its aircraft safety protocols.

In a separate incident, a judge who overturned a $72 million verdict against Boeing disclosed that he engaged in trading Boeing stock. Despite this, the judge maintained that the financial transactions did not influence the case's outcome.

Moreover, Boeing has temporarily halted test flights of its 777X aircraft due to a structural issue in a critical component. The company is addressing this flaw to ensure the aircraft's safety and reliability before proceeding with further testing.
