A new problem forces Boeing to halt delivery of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft
Boeing has halted delivery of the 737 MAX, due to the emergence of an electrical problem with the aircraft of this model.
Reuters reported on April 16 that “Boeing has stopped delivering the 737 MAX single-aisle aircraft. After a problem related to wiring designed to maintain safety in the event of an increase in voltage within the backup power control system.
The new problem comes months after the plane was back in service following a long safety ban triggered by problems with computer design. The ban lasted 20 months after two fatal accidents.
The US Federal Aviation Administration issued a new directive on Wednesday, requiring "Boeing" to fix that defect before those aircraft can fly again.
Last week, the administration announced that the problem affected 109 aircraft that Boeing delivered to airlines around the world. However, Boeing has yet to determine how many additional aircraft it has not received and will need to be repaired.
Boeing has delivered more than 85 737 MAX aircraft since most of the world's regulators lifted the ban it imposed on them after the two crashes.
