Hyderabad: Boeing expects no meaningful delays of plane deliveries to India because of the MAX 9 issues even as it intensifies quality scrutiny of its 737 jets production programme, a top company executive said on Friday.
The planemaker will also focus on the quality of aircraft over numbers in India, Darren Hulst, Boeing’s vice president for commercial marketing, said at the “Wings India” air show in the southern city of Hyderabad.
A cabin panel on one of Boeing’s 737 MAX 9 jets blew out shortly after the Alaska Airlines plane took off from Portland, Oregon this month following which the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily grounded 171 aircraft for safety checks.
