Update: FAA Won't Require Immediate Action Following Review of Boeing 737 Max Bird Strike Incidents
Nov 29, 2024 1:14 AM

03:46 AM EST, 11/29/2024 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates to include Boeing ( BA ) and Southwest's ( LUV ) responses in the last two paragraphs.)

The Federal Aviation Administration is not asking for any immediate action following a review of two 2023 incidents in which bird strikes on Southwest Airlines' ( LUV ) Boeing ( BA ) 737 Max passenger jet engines led to smoke entering the planes, media outlets reported Tuesday.

The FAA said the Corrective Action Review Board on Tuesday reviewed the incidents and assessed internal FAA safety recommendations. "Based on the available data, the CARB determined the issue does not warrant immediate action and the FAA will follow its standard rulemaking process to address it," an FAA spokesperson told MT Newswires in an email Wednesday.

The spokesperson added that the FAA will issue a new notice about "new information Boeing ( BA ) provided to operators of aircraft with LEAP-1B engines" as well as enhanced instructions.

Boeing ( BA ) said in a statement to MT Newswires that the planemaker was cooperating with investigators of the incidents. "We continue to follow regulatory processes to properly address potential issues and ensure the continued safety of the global fleet," a spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, a Southwest Airlines ( LUV ) spokesperson referred to a statement issued a week earlier on the matter in which the company said it was in contact with regulators, Boeing ( BA ), and the engine manufacturer. "The airline continues to address this issue through its robust safety management system while working with the manufacturers and safety regulators to identify a permanent solution," the airline said.
