A technical review by the FAA decided the risk from an engine vulnerability does not warrant immediate action, contrary to an internal report last month.

The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it will not require any immediate action after convening a review board to consider concerns about Boeing 737 MAX engines after two bird strike incidents on Southwest Airlines planes in 2023.

An internal memo recommends a design change to fix an engine risk on the 737 MAX, in addition to informing pilots of the risk and changing takeoff procedures.

The FAA is considering new takeoff instructions for pilots of Boeing 737 Max jets to prevent smoke from entering the cabin if a bird flies into the engine.
