Manufacturers must do more to ensure new planes are safeRanvir S. NayarGrounded American Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 are seen parked at Miami International Airport on March 14, 2019 in Miami, Florida. (Joe Raedle/Getty Images/AFP)Boeing has grounded its entire fleet of 737 Max aircraft over safety fears following Sunday’s Ethiopian Airlines crash, which killed 157 people. Data from flight-tracking websites show that the Ethiopian Airlines aircraft had the same issues during the few minutes that it stayed in the sky. Airlines and aircraft manufacturers could partly address this issue with reinforced and repeated training to ensure that pilots remain abreast of the technology and are better prepared to handle such emergencies. Both Boeing and Airbus need to ensure that their planes do not enter active service until all aspects have been checked and rechecked.
