WASHINGTON - The head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said Boeing must improve safety culture and address quality issues before the agency will allow the planemaker to boost 737 MAX production.
Boeing's chief financial officer, Brian West, said last month that the planemaker's first-half output of 737 planes would be less than 38 per month, but in the second half said he expected it would "move toward that 38 per month, but it will be dictated" by the FAA. On Feb. 28, Whitaker said Boeing must develop a comprehensive plan to address "systemic quality-control issues" within 90 days and set milestones.
Kirby told customers on Monday the airline is reviewing recent safety incidents and using insights to update employee safety training and procedures.
