Airline regulators will include subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems
in their investigation of Boeing's manufacturing practices
following the grounding of 737 MAX 9 jets.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that it was
bolstering its oversight of Boeing and was examining "potential
system change."
The FAA's investigation into Boeing comes after a panel blew off
a plane mid-flight earlier this month.
The FAA said it had completed the first 40 inspections of the
171 grounded planes. Regulators said on Friday that they would
require an inspection and maintenance process before returning any
737 MAX 9 planes to the air.
The FAA said it will thoroughly review data from the first 40
inspections.
Boeing executives have previously said that the door plugs, one
of which blew out, had been inspected on undelivered planes at its
assembly plant and at a factory run by supplier Spirit
AeroSystems.
