Safety problems at Boeing are currently the focus of a hearing in the US Senate. An engineer accuses Boeing of production errors.
According to the employee's allegations, the US company put him under pressure, made threats, and excluded him from meetings. The aircraft manufacturer itself emphasizes that the Dreamliner models 777 and 787 are safe and refers to long-term tests between 2010 and 2015. The company therefore continues to have “full confidence” in the aircraft model. The whistleblower's name is Sam Salehpour, and he is based in Washington, D.C., but he has not been identified by the media. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is also investigating the allegations and is expected to release a report in the coming days. The FAA has not commented on the allegations, but has said that it is investigating the claims. The NTSB is also looking into the claims and will issue a statement in the near future.
