Boeing is still in the process of making significant changes to enhance the quality and safety of its airplanes, as stated by the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
During a congressional hearing on the FAA's oversight of Boeing, Administrator Michael Whitaker is expected to address the progress made by both the safety regulator and Boeing since the January 5 incident involving a door plug detaching from a 737 Max operated by Alaska Airlines. While improvements have been noted, Whitaker emphasizes that more work is required, and increased oversight will persist in the foreseeable future.
