The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it will open a new safety review into aircraft manufacturer Boeing as it seeks to increase its oversight in the sector. The FAA confirmed the new safety review is not in response to a specific event but rather a way to improve the company's safety culture.

The Federal Aviation Administration is opening a new review of safety at Boeing. The FAA said Friday it will conduct a three-month review of Boeing’s compliance with safety regulations and other matters.

The FAA announced a new review into Boeing's safety processes, a week after a government watchdog said the agency needed to be more proactive in its oversight.
