Warren/Associated Press By Andrew Tangel and Andy Pasztor May 16, 2019 7:12 p.m. ET Boeing Co. has completed a software fix for its 737 MAX jets but faces requests for additional information from U.S.
Boeing doesn’t anticipate the requests will require more work or significant time, a person familiar with the matter said. The 737 MAX fleet has been grounded since March. Countries around the world prevented the plane from flying after a second aircraft crashed on March 10 in Ethiopia, following an accident in Indonesia less than five months earlier. The accidents together took 346 lives. “We are expecting additional information we requested,” an FAA spokesman said, adding that “this process will require as long as it takes to ensure the aircraft is safe and returned to service.
