The heads of leading U.S. airlines want to meet with Boeing and hear the aircraft manufacturer’s strategy for fixing quality-control problems that have gained attention since a panel blew out of an Alaska Airlines jetliner in January, people familiar with the situation said Thursday.
The meeting is likely to take place next week, according to a person who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe private discussions between Boeing (BA) and the airlines.
The request by airline leaders was reported first by The Wall Street Journal.
