US to boost scrutiny of United Airlines after safety incidents

Watch onWASHINGTON/CHICAGO - United Airlines said late Friday that U.S. safety regulators will boost scrutiny of the airline after a series of recent safety incidents.

Before that incident, a United Airlines-operated Boeing 737 MAX rolled onto the grass in Houston. A United-operated Boeing 777-200 bound for Japan also lost a tire after takeoff from San Francisco and was diverted to Los Angeles, where it landed safely. On Tuesday, FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker told Reuters the agency was going to look at United more closely, saying United CEO Scott Kirby"knows we're going to be engaging a little more closely with them as we look into these."

Scrutiny on planemaker Boeing has also mounted since a Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines mid-air emergency, with inquiries into safety and quality standards in its production process.
