Boeing has vowed to tighten controls after potentially dangerous debris was found in fuel tanks of undelivered 737 MAX aircraft, a plane that has been grounded worldwide following two deadly crashes.
Due to the halt in service, the company has stopped delivering the jets and temporarily ceased production.
After repeatedly missing its goals for resuming flights last year, Boeing has targeted a mid-2020 return for the plane. “While conducting maintenance we discovered Foreign Object Debris (FOD) in undelivered 737 MAX airplanes currently in storage,” a company spokesman told AFP on Tuesday.
