US EditionFAA extending program allowing Boeing to perform tasks on agency’s behalf
- The FAA extended Boeing's Organization Designation Authorization program for three years on May 29, 2025, allowing Boeing to perform certain inspections and approvals on the agency’s behalf.
- The extension followed a thorough FAA evaluation motivated by past safety failures and the agency’s need to balance oversight limits with resource constraints.
- The program involves over 1,000 Boeing employees who handle delegated engineering and administrative tasks under FAA monitoring, with recent improvements noted despite a January 2024 mid-flight incident involving a door panel missing bolts.
- The FAA reported Boeing made progress in monitored areas but maintains strict oversight including production caps and audits, emphasizing it will continue to monitor compliance throughout the renewal period.
- This renewal signals cautious FAA confidence in Boeing’s safety improvements but continues amid critical scrutiny and calls from lawmakers for enhanced transparency and stronger safeguards.
