Ethiopian Boeing 737 MAX reportedly had active anti-stall system before crashUpdatedAn anti-stall system at the centre of a probe into the crash of a Boeing 737 MAX jetliner in Indonesia five months ago was also at play when the same aircraft model crashed in Ethiopia earlier this month, according to three people briefed on the matter. These initial airflow readings from the Ethiopian jet refer to stall-related information needed to trigger the automated nose-down MCAS system. Boeing working to fix anti-stall system before US summerBoeing is facing mounting pressure to roll out a software update to fix anti-stall technology on the Boeing 737 Max in time for airlines to use the jets during the northern hemisphere's peak summer travel season. German tour operator TUI Group said its 2019 profit will drop about 200 million euros ($317 million) because of the Max grounding. Boeing has stopped Max deliveries during the grounding, which cuts into cash flow — Boeing gets most of its money for a plane upon delivery.
