FAA to strengthen oversight as Boeing set to resume 737 MAX production
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Thursday it will boost its oversight of Boeing as the planemaker prepares to resume production of its 737 MAX jets following a 53-day strike that ended earlier this week.

FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker spoke with Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg this week and stressed the importance of Boeing using its system for managing safety risks as it resumes production, the agency said.
The FAA noted that it maintained its enhanced on-site presence at Boeing factories throughout the strike “and will further strengthen and target our oversight as the company begins its return-to-work plan.” Boeing has not said yet when it plans to resume production, but workers do not have to return until Nov. 12.
