A US government watchdog will audit the Federal Aviation Administration’s oversight of maintenance practices at United Airlines Holdings Inc. after a series of mishaps involving the carrier.
The Transportation Department’s Office of Inspector General “will evaluate FAA’s actions to address maintenance non-compliances and violations” at United, according to a memo posted on the watchdog’s website. The audit will begin later this month.
