Summary

Boeing has big problems. In January, an Alaskan Airlines flight made headlines after a door plug blew off because of faulty plugs during the flight, causing panic and major safety concerns. Following the incident, 33 of the 89 audits conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration failed, propelling Boeing back into the hot seat. A handful of recent in-flight incidents since then have raised general concerns about airline safety and put even more pressure on the world's largest aerospace company and leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners. Aviation expert and President of Boyd Group International, Michael Boyd, joined host Dave Anthony this past week to discuss Boeing’s recent issues and whether or not air travel is safe. Boyd explained what factors could be leading to some of the recent mechanical concerns and why he thinks the FAA needs to be doing more to ensure the safety of passengers. We made edits for time and thought you might like to hear more about Boeing’s recent issues. On today’s FOX News Rundown Extra, you’ll hear our entire conversation with aviation expert Mike Boyd.
