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 Saturday, as the company tries to avoid a lengthy grounding of its planes. The Ethiopian Airlines crash on March 10 led to the global grounding of 737 MAX planes. The company is one of the biggest 737 MAX 8 customers, owning 34 of the planes. "We have been engaging with all 737 MAX operators and we are continuing to schedule meetings to share information about our plans for supporting the 737 MAX fleet," the Boeing spokeswoman said, declining to confirm the timeline for the changes. Neither the Lion Air aircraft nor the Ethiopian Airlines jet had the feature, the industry source said.
