New issues could keep Boeing 737 Max jets grounded into December: report
Source: The Hill
Boeing Max 737 jets could remain grounded into December because of friction between the manufacturer and international air-safety authorities, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Government and pilot union officials briefed on the matter told the outlet that the latest setback is tied to a briefing where regulators complained that Boeing failed to provide technical details and answer specific questions about modifications in the operation of Max flight-control computers.
Boeing now reportedly has to resubmit briefing documents describing proposed software changes.
The changes, which have to be vetted by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), could significantly reduce the likelihood that many of the planes would be back flying passengers during the Christmas holidays.
