Inspections not completed
On May 6, it was learned that US federal authorities are investigating Boeing after the aircraft manufacturer admitted in April that it “may not have completed” assembly inspections from the wings of some 787 Dreamliner airplanes.
The investigation began after a former company employee, engineer Sam Salehpour, reported that the 787 Dreamliner fuselage is improperly assembled and at risk of breaking up in mid-flight.
Before the complaint, the aeronautical manufacturer was already mired in a deep crisis as a result of serious quality problems with its 737 MAX aircraft, which are also being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
