“We believe that we have honoured the terms of that agreement, and look forward to the opportunity to respond to the Department on this issue,” Boeing reportedly said in a statement.
“As we do so, we will engage with the Department with the utmost transparency, as we have throughout the entire term of the agreement, including in response to their questions following the Alaska Airlines 1282 accident.”
Boeing has faced intense scrutiny over the past few months after a door plug blew out mid-flight on a two-month-old Alaska Airlines jet in early January, leading to a rise in the number of whistleblowers who denounced quality control and safety issues at the company.
