US House investigative report into fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes faults the FAA's approval of the plane and Boeing's design failures, saying the flights were 'doomed.'
The FAA said in a statement it welcomed the report's observations and said lessons learned from the two fatal crashes"will be a springboard to an even greater level of safety."
A final report into the Lion Air crash released last October by Indonesia faulted Boeing's design of cockpit software on the 737 MAX but also cited errors by the airline's workers and crew. Boeing did not tell U.S. regulators for more than a year that it inadvertently made an alarm alerting pilots to a mismatch of flight data optional on the 737 MAX, instead of standard as on earlier 737s, but has said the missing display represented no safety risk. Boeing has said it will make the feature standard before the MAX returns to service.
