Boeing is “undoubtedly” making significant progress in getting on top of quality issues, the head of Avolon, the world’s second largest aircraft leasing firm and a major Boeing customer, said on Thursday.
Boeing was hit by the latest in a series of problems on Jan.
5 when a door panel flew off one of its 737 MAX 9 jets in the midst of an Alaska Airlines flight.
Avolon CEO Andy Cronin said preliminary findings from a US regulatory investigation into the incident were “positive”, in not appearing to show any design implications for the aircraft or systemic production issues.
