U.S. authorities: Loose seats in hundreds of Boeing 737 Max

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has warned that hundreds of Boeing 737 Max aircraft may have improperly installed seats that could detach during emergency landings or severe turbulence, potentially injuring passengers and blocking evacuation routes. The directive applies to 453 Boeing 737 Max jets registered in the United States and represents another setback for Boeing, which has been under increased scrutiny since early 2024 following incidents such as a structural failure of a 737 Max fuselage mid-flight. A Boeing spokesperson stated that the company informed airlines in December 2025 about the issue and supports the FAA’s directive.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information regarding a safety concern raised by the FAA concerning Boeing aircraft without overtly criticizing or praising either side. It reports on regulatory action and corporate responses without taking a clear ideological stance, maintaining a balanced tone.
