Spirit AeroSystems and Boeing have both come under intense scrutiny after an unused door came off a brand new 737 Max shortly after take-off in January, leaving a gaping hole in the side of the plane.
Pete Buttigieg, United States Secretary of Transportation, says “if a plane isn’t safe, it can’t fly”.
