Boeing 787 inspections

US Air Traffic Control (FAA) locates the risk of damage to decompression panels used to separate the passenger area.

The US aircraft giant Boeing comes under pressure again because of possible production defects in the long-haul 787 “Dreamliner”. The US aviation authority FAA ordered inspections of around 222 aircraft on Wednesday because there is a risk of damage to so-called decompression panels for separating the passenger area. According to the authority, the defect could have fatal consequences, for example if air freight catches fire.

A statement from Boeing was initially not available. The Airbus rival has been struggling for a long time with problems with the “Dreamliner”, which are slowing down deliveries of the important model. The group is already badly hit by the consequences of the corona crisis and the debacle over its best-selling 737 Max series, which was banned from flights worldwide for more than a year and a half after two crashes with a total of 346 deaths.
