FAA says airlines should check seat installation on some Boeing planes. According to a report, seats on some of the aircraft maker’s models weren’t correctly installed in their seat tracks, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The notice highlights a safety concern that could affect-requested inspections. Airlines are advised to verify that seat tracks are properly fitted before operating flights. The issue was identified during routine safety reviews, and the FAA is working with carriers to ensure compliance.

Boeing has not yet issued an official statement. The FAA’s guidance is intended to prompt immediate action from airlines, ensuring that each seat is securely mounted and meets regulatory standards.

This development underscores the importance of routine maintenance checks and the FAA’s role in safeguarding passenger safety across the national airspace system.
