Boeing Co announced on Sunday (February 4) that it will need to conduct additional work on approximately 50 undelivered 737 MAX aircraft, potentially causing delays in upcoming deliveries. This action follows Spirit AeroSystems, one of its suppliers, identifying two mis-drilled holes on certain fuselages.
Boeing confirmed these findings in response to a query from news agency Reuters, clarifying that while a spacing issue was discovered in holes drilled on a window frame, it does not compromise safety, and existing 737 aircraft can continue to operate without concern.
