WASHINGTON: The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it would require Boeing Co and other aircraft manufacturers to adopt new safety-management tools following two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people.
SMS systems are mandated for airlines. The special committee report said"SMSs foster a holistic assessment of whether the combinations of actions such as design, procedures, and training work together to counter potential hazards."

Reuters has reported the 737 MAX is expected to remain grounded until at least August."To further strengthen our safety culture, Boeing is working with the FAA to implement a safety management system," it said in a statement on Tuesday.
