The FAA is ordering inspections for 471 Boeing 737 Max planes—models 737-8, 737-9, and 737-8200—starting September 10th, citing potential structural cracks similar to those found in older 737s. Though no cracks have been detected yet on the Max jets, Boeing has known about the issue since 2019 and has been working with airlines for years. The new rule also requires fuselage skin checks on previously repaired aircraft, adding to Boeing’s ongoing safety scrutiny after past crashes and recent mid-flight incidents. Despite this, the FAA has allowed Boeing to resume certifying its own Max and 787 jets, while Boeing reaffirms its commitment to supporting airlines through the inspections.
