A person familiar with the matter on Sunday said that the US transportation department’s inspector-general was examining the plane’s design certification before the second of two deadly crashes of the almost brand-new aircraft. Boeing dropped 2.6% to $369.03 at 9.45am on Monday in New York, heading toward a new low since the deadly crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 on March 10. Ethiopia’s transport minister said on Sunday that flight-data recorders showed “clear similarities” between the crashes of that plane and Lion Air Flight 610 last October.
The 2012 investigation also found that discord over Boeing’s treatment had created a “negative work environment” among FAA employees who approve new and modified aircraft designs, with many of them saying they’d faced retaliation for speaking up. Their concerns pre-dated the 737 Max development.
