Boeing has received fines of more than US $ 3.1 million by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a US regulatory body for alleged violations related to the breach of the door plug from one of its aircraft in January 2024.
FAA stated that it was using its maximum statutory civil penalty authority to fine Boeing for security violations that occurred from September 2023 to February 2024.
The organization has identified various violations of the Boeing 737 Boeing Factory system in Renton, Washington, and at the factory of its subcontractor, Spirit Aerosystems in Wichita, Kansas.

FAA also said that Boeing presented two aircraft that were not in flight conditions and did not follow the FAA quality system.
In addition to breaking the door on an Alaska Airlines flight last year, Boeing interfered with the independence of security officers, according to FAA.
A Boeing employee pressured a member of the FAA authorization unit to approve a 737-max plane so that the company could comply with its delivery schedule, even after the representative attested that the plane was not in accordance with the standards, FAA found.
