Boeing was making “steady progress” on the path to certifying of a crucial software update for the 737 MAX aircraft, CEO Dennis Muilenburg has said after two fatal crashes in recent months forced the grounding of the model, including by Indian carriers.
He assured global airline industry that Boeing has also made the final engineering test flight before certification for the 737 MAX aircraft.
The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) system of the 737 MAX aircraft has come under scrutiny from investigators reviewing two fatal crashes — the Lion Air crash on October 29 and the Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10.
