Aviation safety specialists testified on Boeing’s safety culture amid ongoing issues with its planes midair during a hearing before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. They discussed many issues including the Alaska Airlines inflight door plug failure, reports of employees being penalized for raising safety concerns, and the Federal Aviation Administration’s role in ensuring aircraft safety enforcement. Witnesses included Tracy Dillinger, NASA’s safety culture and human factors manager, and Javier de Luis, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) aeronautics and astronautics lecturer whose sister died in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines crash involving a Boeing 737 MAX 8. That deadly crash along with another one prompted regulators in the U.S. and worldwide to ground all Boeing 737 Max planes for inspections. In the U.S., these aircrafts were grounded for 20 months before they were recertified for safety by the FAA and resumed flights in December 2020. close
