Under enhanced scrutiny from federal regulators in the US, following the January mid-flight door blowout incident, plane maker Boeing said it will scale down production of the 737 MAX model by more than 20%.
Boeing will restrict the production of the 737 MAX to below 38 per month for the next several months, down from the 47 per month scheduled from August this year.
While the blowout incident involving Alaska Airlines raised apprehension over safety and reliability of that particular aircraft model, which is also used by Indian airlines, it brought to fore the increased possibilities of delays in deliveries.
