An aerospace engineer whose sister was killed in the second of two 737 Max crashes will serve as one of two dozen members of a panel that will review Boeing’s safety practices, the Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday.
The engineer, Javier de Luis, is a lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. His sister, Graziella de Luis y Ponce, was a United Nations interpreter who was killed when a Max jet crashed shortly after taking off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in March 2019. That crash, and another in Indonesia a few months earlier, claimed 346 lives.
“What happened with the Max was a complex series of events. However, that doesn’t mean it’s too complex to fix,” he said. “I’m hoping to do my part.”The panel was required by Congress as part of legal changes made to how the FAA oversees Boeing in the wake of the crashes. Investigations concluded that agency officials had overlooked a flaw in a new software system of the updated version of the popular 737 that caused the two planes to dive out of control.
