Boeing falsified records for 787 jet sold to Air Canada. It developed a fuel leak
Boeing staff falsified records for a 787 jet built for Air Canada which developed a fuel leak 10 months into service in 2015. Boeing said it self-disclosed the problem to the US FAA after Air Canada notified them of the fuel leak. The records stated that manufacturing work had been completed when it had not. Boeing said an audit concluded it was an isolated event and "immediate corrective action was initiated for both the Boeing mechanic and the Boeing inspector involved." Air Canada said it inspected the rest of its 787 jets and did not find any other fuel leak issues. "All of our aircraft are subject to regular and thorough inspections and we maintain them in full accordance with all manufacturer and regulatory directives," Air Canada said. The airline has 35 787s in its fleet. <br/>
