In an interview broadcast on Monday, President Tim Clark said he had not received any performance details of the jet's engines so far even though test flights began in 2020.

WASHINGTON -Two key U.S. lawmakers said on Tuesday they are seeking records from Boeing Co and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on production issues involving the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Friday it was requiring U.S. operators of 143 Boeing Co 737 Classic series airplanes to check for possible wire failures stemming from an investigation into an Indonesia crash in January.

Boeing Co on Wednesday won approval from U.S. regulators for a fix of an electrical grounding issue that had affected about 100 737 MAX airplanes, clearing the way for their quick return to service after flights were halted in early April, the planemaker said.

Boeing Co. is nearing a fix for engine covers like the one that broke apart on a United Airlines 777 jet over Colorado earlier this year, people briefed on the matter said.

U.S. air safety officials have asked Boeing Co to supply fresh analysis and documentation showing numerous 737 MAX subsystems would not be affected by electrical grounding issues first flagged in three areas of the jet in April, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Boeing and GDC Technics are locked in a legal battle over the termination of a contract related to the Air Force One production.

Since June of last year, aerospace company Boeing has fired 65 employees and disciplined 53 others over behavior described as racist, discriminatory and hateful, according to a new company report on diversity.

U.S. air-safety regulators have launched an audit into how a Boeing Co. factory tweak led to a safety problem with some of the plane maker’s 737 MAX aircraft, two years after a pair of fatal crashes prompted other fixes to the jet.

"Given the importance of the Chinese market to our near-term delivery profile, as well as future orders which influence future production rates, we will continue to engage with leaders in both countries to urge a productive dialogue, reiterating the mutual economic benefits of a strong and prosperous aerospace industry," Calhoun told analysts on the Boeing's first quarter earnings call. "China represents 25% of the global growth in our industry over the next decade."

The aerospace giant is contracted to deliver two converted 747-8 jumbo jets by the end of 2024, but has been forced to switch suppliers for some of the interior work on the planes.

The earnings parade rolls on this week as dozens of names including Tesla, Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon and Facebook are set to report.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a notice to international regulators and aircraft operators Thursday indicating that Boeing is still working on an electrical issue with some 737 Max airplanes.

The 737 MAX was grounded in March 2019 after two crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia within five months killed 346 people

The comments come just two months after United removed all 52 Boeing 777-200 plans powered by Pratt & Whitney 4000 series engines from its flight schedule due to a catastrophic engine failure in one of its planes.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun can postpone his retirement plans.

Boeing had alleged GDC ran into financial problems and missed deadlines, causing millions in damages to Boeing

The net gain of 40 orders raised Boeing’s first-quarter total to 76.

Boeing Co. has made several changes to the membership and structure of its board since a second 737 MAX crashed two years ago. Investors will soon decide whether the company has done enough.

The contract between the group of over 200 employees and Boeing expires by midnight on April 17, a spokesperson for Teamsters Local 174 members, the union representing Boeing employees said.
