Boeing’s CEO, Kelly Ortberg, is set to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee. The focus will be on the company’s efforts to improve manufacturing and safety standards following recent crises. A significant event was a near-catastrophic midair door plug blowout in 2024, caused by missing key bolts. Ortberg acknowledges past missteps and emphasizes sweeping changes in the company’s structure and processes. Despite these efforts, the Federal Aviation Administration has capped Boeing’s production of 737 Max planes at 38 per month. This limit will remain in place, although Boeing is currently producing below this level. The company also secured a major contract worth over $20 billion to build the next generation of U.S. fighter jets. The FAA continues to monitor Boeing’s manufacturing practices, maintenance procedures, and software updates closely.
