Kampuni ya kuunda Ndege za Boeing imehimiza mashirika ya ndege duniani kufanya ukaguzi wa ndege za 737 Max kutafuta "Bolt inayowezekana kuwa imelegea" katika mfumo wa udhibiti wa rudda, tatizo jipya la ubora linaloathiri ndege inayouza zaidi ya mtengenezaji huyo.
Kampuni hiyo iliagiza ukaguzi baada ya "mwendeshaji wa kimataifa kugundua boliti yenye nut iliyokosekana wakati wa kufanya matengenezo ya kawaida kwenye mfumo wa uhusiano wa udhibiti wa rudda," Shirika la Usafiri wa Anga la Amerika lilitangaza Alhamisi. "Kampuni iligundua ndege nyingine isiyotumwa na nut ambayo haikuwekwa vizuri."
Ukaguzi utachukua karibu saa mbili kwa kila ndege, na Boeing ilisema ndege zote mpya za 737 Max zitafanyiwa ukaguzi kabla ya kuzikabidhi kwa wateja.
"Tatizo lililoainishwa kwenye ndege fulani limetatuliwa," Boeing ilisema katika taarifa. "Kwa tahadhari kubwa, tunapendekeza waendeshaji wafanye ukaguzi wa ndege zao za 737 MAX na kutuambia yoyote watakayoyapata."
Hisia za Boeing zilipungua zaidi ya 1% katika biashara ya mchana.
Alaska Airlines inapanga kuanza ukaguzi Alhamisi. Msemaji alisema kampuni hiyo inatarajia kumaliza ukaguzi huo katika nusu ya kwanza ya Januari. "Hatutarajii athari yoyote kwa uendeshaji kama matokeo," alisema.
Msemaji wa United Airlines, mmoja wa wateja wakubwa wa 737 Max, alisema kampuni hiyo haitarajii athari yoyote kwa uendeshaji wake kutokana na suala hilo.
American Airlines ilisema katika taarifa kwamba itamaliza ukaguzi na pia haitarajii athari kwa uendeshaji wake.

Boeing is urging airlines to inspect 737 Max planes to look for a “possible loose bolt” in the rudder control system, the latest quality issue to affect the manufacturer’s bestselling jetliner.
The company recommended the inspections after “an international operator discovered a bolt with a missing nut while performing routine maintenance on a mechanism in the rudder-control linkage,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement Thursday. “The company discovered an additional undelivered aircraft with a nut that was not properly tightened.”
The inspections will take about two hours per plane, and all new 737 Maxes will undergo the check before they’re handed over to customers, Boeing said.
“The issue identified on the particular airplane has been remedied,” Boeing said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are recommending operators inspect their 737 MAX airplanes and inform us of any findings.
Shares of Boeing were down more than 1% in afternoon trading.
Alaska Airlines
plans to start the inspections on Thursday. A spokeswoman said the carrier anticipates completing them in the first half of January. “We don’t expect any operational impact as a result,” she said.
A spokeswoman for United Airlines
, one of the biggest 737 Max customers, said the carrier doesn’t expect any impact to its operations as a result of the issue.
American Airlines
said in a statement that it will complete the inspections and that it also doesn’t anticipate its operations to be impacted by them.
