In recent weeks, there has been growing concern over air safety, highlighted by 10 safety incidents involving United Airlines flights in and out of San Francisco International Airport (SFO), as noted by Shem Malmquist and Roger Rapoport. These incidents have prompted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to undertake an assessment of United Airlines under the Certificate Holder Evaluation Program, according to CBS News. The FAA's actions come in the wake of a broader scrutiny of air safety, following a series of close calls over the past 15 months that have caught the attention of both regulators and travelers. Despite the lack of fatal crashes, these incidents underscore the challenges facing the FAA and Congress in ensuring air travel safety. The FAA has also indicated that future projects at United Airlines could face delays depending on the outcomes of their oversight activities, although certification activities currently underway may be allowed to proceed. This situation has led to considerations of possible temporary actions against United Airlines.
