The government will discuss with aviation regulator DGCA on action that needs to be taken regarding Boeing 737 MAX planes being operated in India following the crash of the aircraft in Ethiopia that killed 157 people, a senior official said Monday.
This is for the second time in less than five months that a Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane crashed.
In October 2018, an aircraft operated by Lion Air crashed killing over 180 people in Indonesia.
Against the backdrop of full-service carrier Jet Airways and budget airline SpiceJet operating 737 MAX planes, the DGCA has decided to seek information about the aircraft from Boeing as well as the two domestic carriers.
