Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened up an investigation into a Boeing supplier’s DEI policies amid growing concern over the aircraft company’s safety and quality standards.
Paxton announced on Thursday that his office would be investigating Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, the company responsible for building much of Boeing’s 737 MAX 9 aircraft. Boeing’s 737 Max has come under intense scrutiny after a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX flew off mid-flight in January, prompting federal investigations.
“The potential risks associated with certain airplane models are deeply concerning and potentially life-threatening to Texans,” Paxton said in a statement. “I will hold any company responsible if they fail to maintain the standards required by the law and will do everything in my power to ensure manufacturers take passenger safety seriously.”
