More than 300 Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 passenger jets have been grounded worldwide after two fatal crashes in the past five months in Ethiopia and Indonesia killed nearly 350 people.
Boeing maintains its new, fuel-efficient jets are safe, but supported the US Federal Aviation Administration decision to ground them. Experts believe a new flight control system, MCAS, on the jets, designed to stop stalling by dipping the nose, may have been a factor in both crashes, with pilots unable to override it as their jets plunged after a faulty sensor indicated a stall. But no conclusive evidence yet links the two accidents.
Indonesia has advanced the date for the release of its report on the Lion Air crash to between July and August, versus a previous schedule of between August and September. The US Justice Department is also looking at FAA's oversight of Boeing, one of the people said. The FAA has said it is"absolutely" confident in its vetting.
