US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the Federal Aviation Administration will rigorously assess Boeing Co. after the blowout of a fuselage section on an Alaska Airlines flight in January.
To maintain airline safety, “that means an enormous amount of rigor in dealing with Boeing, in dealing with any regulatory issue,” Buttigieg said on Fox News Sunday. “And that’s exactly what the FAA is doing.”
