New York: A fix to the anti-stall system suspected in the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet that killed 189 people in Indonesia is ready, industry sources said on Saturday, as the company tries to avoid a lengthy grounding of its planes.
Boeing was due to present the patch to officials and pilots of US airlines – American, Southwest and United – in Renton, Washington state, where the plane is assembled, other sources said.
“Boeing has already finalized the necessary corrective measures for the MAX,” an aviation sector source told AFP on condition of anonymity. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will receive the patch “early next week,” a government source added.
