A 787 jet that was commissioned by Air Canada and developed a fuel leak just ten months into service in 2015 had its records falsified by Boeing staff, reports CBC News. Boeing Co self-disclosed the problem to the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as soon as Air Canada notified the company of the malfunction. In response, Air Canada said it had inspected its fleet of 787 planes and failed to spot any other fuel leak issues. Air Canada introduced the 787 Dreamliner to its fleet five years ago, and it currently has 35 planes of this model. That crash came just five months after the October 2018 crash of a Lion Air 737 Max 8, which killed all 189 people on board.
