Boeing suspends production of 737 MAX
NEW DELHI : New Delhi: Boeing has suspended production of the 737 MAX starting January next year following an extension in the certification moving into 2020 and uncertainty about the timing and conditions for return to service of the aircraft, a company statement said.
“As we have previously said, the FAA (US Federal Avoation Administration) and global regulatory authorities determine the timeline for certification and return to service,” Boeing said. “It is our duty to ensure that every requirement is fulfilled, and every question from our regulators answered.”
The company added that it has around 400 airplanes in storage and would prioritize the delivery of these aircraft.
