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.
波音公司（纽约证券交易所代码：BA）股票今天盘前交易价格走低。周三，美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）负责人表示，涉及阿拉斯加航空集团公司（纽约证券交易所代码：ALK）波音737 MAX 9的空中紧急情况是完全可以避免的，因为波音本应早点解决未经授权的生产工作。
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.
路透社报道，NTSb主席詹妮弗·霍门迪告诉记者：“波音公司进行了大量审计、美国联邦航空局审计、合规审查、合规行动计划，并指出了未经授权的工作、未经授权的搬迁的历史。”
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.
据NTsB称，波音没有记录737 MAX 9门插头的拆除和重新安装情况，该插头是未使用的紧急出口的金属盖，也不知道有哪些员工参与其中。插头交付给阿拉斯加航空公司时缺少四个钥匙螺栓。
FAA official Brian Knaup stated at the hearing that the agency has discovered further issues related to unauthorized removals by Boeing.

他提到，美国联邦航空局增加了未经宣布的审计，并为波音737工厂和供应商Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.（纽约证券交易所代码：SPR）的人员提供了专用空间，波音已同意收购该公司。
The FAA said on Wednesday, "We will continue our aggressive oversight of the company and ensure it fixes its systemic production-quality issues," per the report.
