| [Aljazeera] Air safety officials in the United States are investigating whether employees at Boeing falsified inspections records for the 787 Dreamliner. The Federal Aviation Administration said on Monday that it had opened the probe after Boeing voluntarily informed officials that it may not have completed required inspections to "confirm adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the fuselage on certain 787 Dreamliner airplanes". "The FAA is investigating whether Boeing completed the inspections and whether company employees may have falsified aircraft records. At the same time, Boeing is reinspecting all 787 airplanes still within the production system and must also create a plan to address the in-service fleet," an FAA spokesperson said in a statement. "As the investigation continues, the FAA will take any necessary action — as always — to ensure the safety of the flying public." Boeing raised its concerns after an employee observed an "irregularity" and raised the issue with a supervisor, Scott Stocker, head of the Boeing 787 programme, said in an email to staff.
