The U.S. Transportation Secretary held a meeting with the chief executives of Boeing and GE to discuss efforts to reform aircraft certification, Reuters reported.

Aircraft certification has faced heightened scrutiny in recent years following high-profile safety incidents, prompting calls for stronger oversight of how new aircraft and their systems are approved.

Boeing and GE are among the largest players in American aviation manufacturing, so their involvement reflects the industry's stake in how certification rules are updated.
