FAA Increasing Oversight of Boeing Production and Manufacturing | Federal Aviation Administration

After taking decisive and immediate action to ground approximately 171 Boeing 737-9 MAX planes, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced new and significant actions to immediately increase its oversight of Boeing production and manufacturing. These actions come one day after the FAA formally notified Boeing that the FAA has launched an investigation into the company as a result of last Friday's incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX in which the aircraft lost a passenger door plug while in flight.

Airbus Beluga Transport earns its Air Operator Certificate

Just under two years ago, in January 2022, Airbus launched its outsized air-cargo service, Airbus Beluga Transport (AiBT), operated by Airbus Transport International (ATI). However, the vision was always to create a dedicated airline with its own Air Operator Certificate (AOC). With the latter now awarded, we talk to AiBTs managing director Benoît Lemonnier and also to the head of flight operations Olivier Schneider to learn how this was achieved and also what challenges lie ahead
