Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an incident aboard a Delta flight in which a cabin pressurization issue with the Boeing 737 caused some passengers to bleed from the nose and ears.

The Federal Aviation Administration opened the investigation after a rocket booster toppled aboard a drone ship after it was returning from lofting SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites into space.

A Boeing 737 Max 8 jet experienced a rare problem known as a Dutch roll before landing safely. The cause of the incident during a Southwest Airlines flight last month is under investigation.

Federal regulators say all airline passengers must be able to evacuate a plane within 90 seconds. The FAA reauthorization bill would require the agency to reconsider its testing standards.

The FAA says Boeing informed the agency in April that required inspections to confirm that the wings were properly bonded to the carbon fiber fuselage on certain 787 jets were not completed.

Federal regulators are increasing the amount of required rest between shifts for air traffic controllers. The changes come as two recent close calls on runways add to concerns about aviation safety.

The FAA says it is investigating a whistleblower's claims about flaws in the assembly of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. The company calls those allegations inaccurate, and insists the plane is safe to fly.

The findings, part of a six-week audit by the FAA, singled out both Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems in the wake of January's in-flight door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 jet.

Boeing has 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality control issues, the FAA said Wednesday. Critics say those problems go far beyond the door plug that blew off a 737 Max in midair last month.
