FAA Orders Boeing 737 Max Inspections | Orlando News

The FAA is ordering inspections of 471 Boeing 737 Max planes in the U.S. to check for fuselage skin cracks near the forward galley door—potentially compromising structural integrity. Inspections begin September 10, 2026, covering Max 8, 9, and 820 models. While Boeing says these cracks were first seen on older 737NGs and haven’t been found on Max jets, they’re expanding checks due to design similarities. The company has been collaborating with airlines for six years, supports the mandate, and is already implementing manufacturing fixes to prevent future issues—making this a proactive safety move.
