Boeing 737 MAX faces fresh safety concern as FAA proposes seat inspections
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed a directive requiring inspections of passenger seat assemblies on 453 Boeing 737 MAX jets, citing risks of injuries during emergency landings. This directive follows reports of incorrectly installed seat assemblies that could disengage under severe conditions, potentially slowing evacuations. Boeing, under new CEO Kelly Ortberg, supports the directive as part of efforts to enhance production quality amid ongoing scrutiny over safety issues.
