LaHood urges the Trump administration to ground all Boeing 737 Max jets after Sunday's deadly crash in Ethiopia and another one five months ago off Indonesia.
Former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is urging the Trump administration to ground all Boeing 737 Max jets after Sunday's deadly crash in Ethiopia and and another one less than five months ago off Indonesia.
At least 27 airlines around the world have grounded the Max jets as the investigation continues into Sunday's Ethiopian Airlines accident. In October, Indonesia's Lion Air saw one of its Boeing 737 Max 8 jets go down in the Java Sea. "Take the plane out of service, just as we did with the Dreamliner, until the flying public has a 100 percent assurance that these planes are safe. And they don't have that assurance today," said LaHood — a Republican, who before joining Obama's Cabinet, served 14 years as a congressman from Illinois."We ordered all those planes grounded until they could be inspected by Boeing" and FAA safety officials.
