Mr. Duffy stated he had spoken to National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy. An NTSB and FAA group, with assist from Boeing and engine producer GE Aerospace, was going to India, Mr. Duffy stated.
“They have to get on the ground and take a look. But again, right now it’d be way too premature,” Mr. Duffy stated. “People are looking at videos and trying to assess what happened, which is never a strong, smart way to make decisions on what took place.”
Mr. Duffy stated the FAA was reviewing data with Boeing and GE as a part of the investigation into the crash. Mr. Duffy additionally emphasised that the U.S. authorities “will not hesitate to implement any safety recommendations that may arise. We will follow the facts and put safety first.”
Rocheleau stated, “As we proceed down this road with the investigation itself, if there’s any information that becomes available to us regarding any risk, we will mitigate those risks.” Mr. Duffy stated the FAA is “prepared to send additional resources to get the data we need to ensure the safety of the flying public.”
