Boeing has moved to ground its entire global 737 MAX aircraft fleet after an Ethiopian Airline crash killed 157 people. A fix to the anti-stall system suspected in October’s Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 that killed 189 people in Indonesia is ready, industry sources said on Saturday. The company is one of the biggest 737 MAX 8 customers, owning 34 of the planes. In addition to the software updates, the sources said Boeing has also finalised updates to its instructions and pilots’ training manual. “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,” a Boeing spokeswoman said, declining to confirm the timeline for the changes.
