The events of Alaska Airlines flight AS1282 on January 5th and subsequent discoveries of loose bolts on 737 MAX aircraft have put Boeing under an intense spotlight in recent weeks. The American planemaker is under close review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), while the media is also keen to report any developments with the company. Ever since the tragic events in 2018 and 2019 involving the 737 MAX, the close relationship between the US Government and Boeing has also become a hot topic of discussion.
