Boeing has announced delays in the near-term deliveries of its 737 Max aircraft due to a newly discovered fuselage problem. The issue, identified by a supplier, involves nonconformity in rivet holes on the fuselage of 50 jets, not meeting Boeing's precise requirements. While not deemed an immediate flight safety issue, the situation necessitates rework on the undelivered airplanes. This development adds to the ongoing scrutiny of the 737 Max program, further challenging Boeing's commitment to quality and timely delivery
