Boeing 737 MAX makes emergency landing during US transfer: FAAA Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft makes an emergency landing in Orlando. A Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operated by Southwest Airlines made an emergency landing Tuesday after experiencing an engine problem as it was being ferried from Florida to California, the US Federal Aviation Agency said. "The FAA is investigating," added the agency, which grounded the Boeing 737 MAX on March 13 following two deadly accidents involving Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air but continues to allow the planes to be ferried from airport to airport. "The Boeing 737 MAX 8 will be moved to our Orlando maintenance facility for a review." Boeing has since conducted test flights of its 737 MAX to evaluate a fix for the MCAS stall prevention system targeted as a potential cause for the deadly crashes, two sources familiar with the matter said.
