The FAA ignored safety issues ahead of deadly crashes, cozied up with companies it was supposed to regulate, and retaliated against whistleblowers, according to an explosive congressional investigation

In April 2019, following two deadly crashes involving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation opened an investigation into the incidents.that blamed the Federal Aviation Administration for repeatedly falling short on its regulatory duties, with regards to Boeing as well as the industry more broadly.

A spokesperson for the FAA told Business Insider the agency had "just received" the report and is "carefully reviewing the document, which the Committee acknowledges contains a number of unsubstantiated allegations." "Southwest Airlines maintains a culture of compliance, recognizing the Safety of our operation as the most important thing we do," the spokesperson said, adding: "We do not tolerate any relaxing of standards that govern ultimate Safety across our operation."During tests meant to determine if the 737 MAX was safe to fly again, Boeing "inappropriately influenced" flight simulation tests.
