U.S. orders 2,612 Boeing planes to be checked over oxygen mask problems
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered a recall of 2,612 Boeing aircraft in the U.S. to ensure that passenger oxygen masks are functional in an emergency. The order affects the 737-8, 9, 8200, 700, 800, and 900ER series of aircraft, according to a statement from the federal agency responsible for ensuring air transport safety.
The FAA said airlines operating these aircraft must ensure that the planes’ oxygen generators “are in the proper position” and correct any problems they may find. Inspections and repairs must be completed within a maximum period of 120 or 150 days, depending on the configuration of the planes.
The FAA order comes hours after Boeing agreed to plead guilty to deceiving the agency before the company’s 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019, resulting in design flaws in its aircraft. The two accidents killed 346 people.
The agreement means that Boeing will avoid trial in exchange for pleading guilty to fraud in the certification of the planes, paying a fine of $244 million and investing $455 million in safety improvement programs. The families of those killed in the two accidents are seeking $24.8 billion in compensation and fines from Boeing.
