Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires airlines to inspect 787 forward-pressure bulkheads to address concerns about manufacturing defects that create gaps in the aircraft structure.
The 2020 incident led investigators to discover thousands of substandard aircraft components installed in nearly 500 Boeing 787 jets currently in service worldwide.
Boeing has publicly announced its intention to raise the production of its 787 Dreamliner to 10 units per month at the North Charleston assembly plant.
