International Business: US air safety chief says Boeing has ‘more work to do’ – Gulf Digital News

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) chief Steve Dickson told a U.S. congressional panel that Boeing Co has "more work to do" as the planemaker continues to face scrutiny following two fatal 737 MAX crashes in the space of five months in 2018-2019 that killed 346 people.

"Boeing is not the same as it was two years ago but they have more to work to do," Dickson told the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday. Boeing did not immediately comment. "We have reset the relationship with Boeing in no uncertain terms."

Dickson said the FAA is delegating fewer responsibilities to Boeing for aircraft certification. He told the committee the FAA is "demanding more transparency" from manufacturers "and evaluating key assumptions prior to delegating functions in certain areas.”
