Review Of Boeing 737 Max Provides No Basis For Grounding Aircraft - Aviation Agency

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th March, 2019) The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) review of the Boeing 737 MAX show no systematic performance issues providing no basis to ground the aircraft, FAA Administrator Daniel Elwell said in a statement.

On Sunday, a Nairobi-bound Boeing 737 MAX 8, operated by Ethiopian Airlines, crashed minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All 157 people from more than 30 countries onboard the airplane died.

"The FAA continues to review extensively all available data and aggregate safety performance from operators and pilots of the Boeing 737 MAX," Elwell said in the statement on Tuesday. "Thus far, our review shows no systemic performance issues and provides no basis to order grounding the aircraft."
