Mumbai: Boeing Co. will offer software updates to automated flight control systems of its 737 Max planes which have been grounded worldwide following two fatal crashes in the past five months. “We are going to do everything that we can do to ensure that accidents like these never happen again,” Mike Sinnett, Boeing’s vice-president for product strategy and future airplane development, told reporters on a conference call.
Boeing is battling one of its worst-ever crises after a 737 Max jetliner of Ethiopian Airlines crashed in March soon after take-off, killing all 157 on board. A similar plane of Indonesia’s Lion Air crashed last October, killing all 189 people.
