The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced that its recent audit of United Airlines (UA) revealed no significant safety concerns.
This audit, which commenced in March, was part of enhanced oversight due to a series of safety incidents involving the airline earlier this year.
The audit aimed to ensure United Airlines adhered to safety regulations, effectively identified hazards, and managed risks associated with its operations.
As part of the oversight measures, the FAA permitted the airline to take delivery of new aircraft but mandated the presence of FAA personnel during final inspections.
This step underscores the FAA's commitment to ensuring stringent safety protocols are followed.
Earlier in the year, United Airlines faced several incidents, including a runway excursion at Houston Intercontinental Airport, a Boeing 777-200ER losing a tire while departing from San Francisco, and a missing external panel on an aircraft after landing. Fortunately, none of these events resulted in casualties or injuries.
United Airlines has opted not to comment on the findings of the FAA audit.
