Regulators grounded the worldwide MAX fleet after an Ethiopian Airlines MAX crash killed all 157 people on board this month, wiping 14% off shares in the world’s biggest planemaker.
MUSCAT - Qatar Airways threw its support behind Boeing on Monday as the US planemaker faces its biggest crisis in years after two deadly crashes of its flagship 737 MAX jet.
Baker has a reputation for heavily criticizing aircraft manufacturers. It ordered the MAX jets after a dispute with Airbus over an order for their similar sized A320neo aircraft. Attention has focused on the anti-stall system, known as MCAS, and the sensors that activate it. MCAS pushes the plane’s nose down if it believes it is ascending at too steep an angle.
