US EditionFAA seeks $3.1 million in fines from Boeing over safety violations, 2024 midair panel blowout
- On September 13, 2025, the FAA revealed plans to levy civil penalties totaling $3.1 million against Boeing due to safety infractions occurring between September 2023 and February 2024.
- Among these violations was an incident in January 2024 involving the loss of a door plug panel from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 soon after departing from Portland, Oregon, which prompted a 17-month investigation by the NTSB.
- The FAA discovered numerous quality system deficiencies at Boeing’s Renton 737 facility and Spirit AeroSystems’ plant in Wichita, including a case where a Boeing employee pressured an ODA representative to approve a non-compliant 737 Max aircraft to meet delivery deadlines.
- The proposed fines allocate $2.25 million to 737 MAX production issues and $850,000 to 787 Dreamliner manufacturing defects, with Boeing stating it is reviewing the penalties and cooperating fully.
- The FAA’s penalties could lead Boeing to implement a corrective action plan involving enhanced training, improved inspections, and a stronger safety culture under increased FAA oversight.
