Following a series of safety incidents involving United Airlines, CEO Scott Kirby has sought to reassure customers about the airline's commitment to safety. These incidents, which include a panel falling off a plane and a jet losing a wheel on takeoff, have prompted the airline to review its safety training for employees. Kirby emphasized that safety is 'at the center of everything that we do,' highlighting that the incidents, all involving Boeing jets and totaling five in a month, are being taken seriously with a plan in place to address them. In response to these issues, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced it will increase its oversight of United Airlines. This heightened scrutiny comes after at least 10 incidents within the last three weeks, including an engine fire and a piece of the outer fuselage falling off one jet. The FAA's actions indicate a significant step towards ensuring the airline addresses the safety concerns promptly.
