Boeing's biggest supplier of airplane parts says it will temporarily furlough 700 workers as the FAA plans to conduct a review of a three-month safety review of Boeing.

The FAA says Boeing informed the agency in April that required inspections to confirm that the wings were properly bonded to the carbon fiber fuselage on certain 787 jets were not completed.

The findings, part of a six-week audit by the FAA, singled out both Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems in the wake of January's in-flight door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 jet.

While the Federal Aviation Administration says the grounded 737 Max 9 aircraft can resume flying after inspections, the agency imposed sweeping jet production restrictions at Boeing factories.

A reporter who's chronicled the culture at Boeing said the company's response has been quite different, so far, from its reaction to fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 involving the company's 737 MAX 8 jets.

The airline said that it would cancel 110 to 150 flights a day while the Max 9 planes remain grounded, as signs indicate some travelers may at least temporarily try to avoid flying on Max 9 jetliners.

Federal authorities have issued a warning about a part of the tail in the type of seaplane that crashed in Washington state’s Puget Sound last month, killing 10 people. The Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency airworthiness directive concerning Otter seaplanes.

Federal safety officials have confirmed they will let Boeing resume deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner jet. The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it expects Boeing to start shipping out the long-shelved planes in the coming days.

The Federal Aviation Administration says it is going to keep Boeing on a shorter leash when it comes to performing safety-related work on aircraft. The FAA said Tuesday that for three more years, it will still let some Boeing employees perform some safety analysis on planes, but not for the full five-year extension Boeing requested.
