New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government has taken the view that trade tensions with the US shall not influence its regulatory response on use of American aerospace firm Boeing Co.’s 737 Max aircraft after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines flight on Sunday, said a government official.
New Delhi’s decision on whether to disallow use of the aircraft will be based on facts emerging from the investigation into the plane crash as accidents can happen due to a variety of reasons. The move is in sharp contrast to the Chinese government’s abrupt move on Monday to ground about 96 of the Boeing Co.’s 737 Max aircraft.
