Boeing said Friday it discovered a new flaw in the software on the grounded 737 MAX aircraft, but hopes to resolve the matter shortly so that it does not further delay the plane\u2019s expected return to service. \u201cWe are making necessary updates and working with the FAA on submission of this change and keeping our customers and suppliers informed,\u201d the company said a statement, referring to the US Federal Aviation Administration. \u201cOur highest priority is ensuring the 737 MAX is safe and meets all regulatory requirements before it returns to service.\u201d The statement did not elaborate on the nature of the problem. According to a person with knowledge of the matter, the glitch causes other onboard software to malfunction during startup.<\/p>\n
