Boeing (BA) shares are moving in the red following reports that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is opening a new investigation into the company’s inspections of its 787 Dreamliner jets.

The company told Yahoo Finance’s Alexis Keenan that these concerns are not an immediate issue for current planes in use.
