The Federal Aviation Administration’s acting chief is meeting with safety inspectors to decide whether Boeing can resume deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner

It’s been plagued by production issues that prompted the planemaker to stop deliveries in May 2021.

The FAA has approved Boeing’s inspection and modification plan to resume deliveries of 787 Dreamliners, according to sources.

Reuters says the FAA had approved Boeing’s proposal that requires specific inspections to verify the airplane meets requirements and that all work has been completed.

The purpose of acting Administrator Billy Nolen’s visit “is to ensure that the FAA is satisfied that Boeing has taken the appropriate steps to improve manufacturing quality and to guarantee the autonomy of workers who ensure regulatory compliance on the company’s assembly lines,”

The FAA noted that even when deliveries resume, it “will inspect each aircraft before issuing an airworthiness certificate.

The planemaker has faced production issues with the 787 for more than two years. In September 2020, the FAA said it was “investigating manufacturing flaws” in some 787 jetliners.

Boeing now promising to work harder to maintain safety on the program.

There’s a massive backlog of aircraft waiting to be built and delivered, so good news for airlines and passengers.

Australia debates GST expansion amid aging population pressures and personal income tax concerns; expert insights from Dr. Steven Enticott.

Australia is facing a fierce debate over tax reform, with fresh calls to broaden the Goods and Services Tax as the government searches for more stable revenue streams. With an ageing population putting pressure on health, pensions and long-term spending, economists argue the current reliance on personal income tax may not be sustainable.

Dr Steven Enticott from CIA Tax joins Ticker to break down the real impact of expanding the GST, including how it could affect lower-income households, whether taxing unrealised gains would change investor behaviour, and what compensation mechanisms could soften the blow on essential goods. The political risks are high, but so are the fiscal stakes.
