Delta CEO confident Boeing will learn from mid-air panel incident
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said he was confident Boeing would learn from an incident last week involving a mid-air blowout of a cabin panel on one of the U.S. planemaker’s jets. In an interview, Bastian said he has been in communications with Boeing after the Alaska Airlines accident. Bastian’s comments to Reuters came as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has grounded 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 jets, pending safety inspections, and is probing potential flaws in the company’s manufacturing process.
