WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The chair of the Senate Commerce Committee wants the Federal Aviation Administration to conduct a thorough review into its oversight of Boeing and other manufacturers, raising serious questions about the government’s scrutiny of the planemaker.
Senator Maria Cantwell in a letter seen by Reuters to FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker said the FAA in April disclosed that it had conducted a combined total of 298 audits of Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems over the prior two years that “did not result in any enforcement actions.”
