Chinese carriers and leasing companies operate 96 Boeing 737 8 MAXs, according to the government, with dozens more believed to be on order. Cayman Airways also said it was temporarily grounding two Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. Boeing and the U.S. investigative agency are also involved in the probe into the Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October. Boeing has delivered about 350 737 Max planes to scores of airlines and has orders for more than 5,000. But investigators also will look into the plane’s maintenance, which may have been an issue in the Lion Air crash.
