The faulty sensor was linked to both the Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October and the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March. "Based on the safety review, the update was scheduled for the MAX 10 rollout in 2020," the statement said. When the Max returns to service, the safety alert will be included as a standard feature on all aircraft delivered. Prior to the Lion Air crash, though, it was sold as part of an optional package of equipment, a package that Lion Air didn't purchase for its planes. The 737 Max has now been grounded for almost three months, dragging down Boeing's earnings and reputation as it heads into the Paris Air Show later this month.
