NTSB Calls Out Boeing For Safety Lapses: FAA Steps Up Scrutiny
The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) shares are trading lower premarket today. On Wednesday, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stated that the mid-air emergency involving Alaska Air Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK) Boeing 737 MAX 9 was entirely avoidable, as Boeing should have addressed unauthorized production work earlier.
今天波音公司（NYSE：BA）的股價在盤前交易中下跌。週三，國家運輸安全委員會（NTSB）負責人表示，阿拉斯加航空集團公司（NYSE：ALK）波音737 MAX 9飛機的空中緊急情況是完全可避免的，因爲波音早應該解決未經授權的生產問題。
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy told reporters, "There have been numerous, numerous Boeing audits, FAA audits, compliance reviews, compliance actions plans, noting a history of an unauthorized work, unauthorized removals,", reported Reuters.
NTSB主席珍妮弗·霍門迪告訴記者：「波音已經進行了無數次的審核、聯邦航空管理局審核、合規性審查、合規性行動計劃，都指出了未經授權的工作和未經授權的拆除行動。」，據路透社報道。
According to the NTSB, Boeing failed to document the removal and re-installation of the 737 MAX 9 door plug, a metal cover for an unused emergency exit, and does not know which employees were involved. The plug was delivered to Alaska Airlines missing four key bolts.
據NTSB稱，波音未能記錄737 MAX 9門塞的卸下和再安裝，該門塞是用於未使用的緊急出口的金屬覆蓋物，也不知道哪些員工參與其中。這個門塞無四個關鍵螺栓被交付給阿拉斯加航空公司。
