Potential Boeing 737 MAX issue affects more of plane areas: Report

The potential electrical problem that prompted airlines to remove some 737 MAX planes from service has been found in more areas of the plane than initially known, a report said Friday.

Boeing said on April 9 that the issue, discovered during the manufacturing process, requires “verification that a sufficient ground path exists for a component of the electrical power system.”

But The Wall Street Journal, citing Boeing, reported Friday that the manufacturing issue affects “more areas of the flight deck than previously known.”
