CHICAGO/WASHINGTON - Teams from the three U.S. airlines that own 737 MAX jets were heading to Boeing Co’s factory in Renton, Washington, to review a software upgrade on Saturday, even as Southwest Airlines Co began parking its 34 MAXs near the California desert.
Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration , which must approve the software fix and new training, are under U.S. and global scrutiny since the MAX suffered a second deadly crash involving Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Ababa on March 10, which led to a worldwide grounding of the fleet. The FAA’s aviation safety chief, Ali Bahrami, briefed lawmakers on Friday about the latest information from the investigation.
