Boeing sees no delays to plane deliveries to India because of MAX 9 issues
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.
An incident where a cabin panel on a 737 MAX 9 jet blew out shortly after an Alaska Airlines plane took off has shaken global airlines’ confidence in Boeing’s planes nearly five years after a pair of crashes killed 346 people.
“Our long term objective is adding even more scrutiny to the quality side of things,” Darren Hulst, Boeing’s vice president for commercial marketing said at the “Wings India” air show in the southern city of Hyderabad.
