☆ U.S. lawmakers decline to add Boeing 737 MAX exemption in defense bill
  + stars: | 2022-12-07 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
WASHINGTON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers late on Tuesday declined to add an extension to an annual defense bill of a looming deadline that would impose a new safety standard for modern cockpit alerts for two new versions of Boeing's (BA.N) best-selling 737 MAX aircraft. The U.S. planemaker has been lobbying for months to convince lawmakers to waive the deadline that affects its MAX 7 and MAX 10 airplanes and was imposed by Congress in 2020 after two fatal 737 MAX crashes killed 346 people in Indonesia and Ethiopia. That would be a significant setback for Boeing, which did not immediately comment but has argued previously it is better to have a common alerting system for all versions of the 737 MAX. The requirements for modern cockpit alerts were adopted by Congress as part of certification reform passed after two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 that led to the plane's 20-month grounding. Nadia Milleron, whose daughter Samya Rose Stumo died in the 2019 Ethiopian Airlines crash, praised lawmakers for not including the extension in the defense.
☆ U.S. senator presses FAA for details on Boeing 737 MAX alerting system
  + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( David Shepardson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
WASHINGTON, Nov 30 (Reuters) - A senior U.S. lawmaker wants details from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about the safety of the cockpit alerting system for the Boeing 737 MAX -- an issue at the heart of a dispute over two new variants of the best selling airplane. Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell on Tuesday circulated a draft proposal that would extend the 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 certification deadline and require retrofitting existing planes with safety enhancements, Reuters reported. After Dec. 27, all planes must have modern cockpit alerting systems to be certified by the FAA, which could put the two new MAX planes future in jeopardy. Cantwell's letter asked "to the extent FAA has identified safety deficiencies with 737 MAX’s flight crew alerting system, please describe FAA’s plans to immediately address these safety concerns." Boeing declined to comment but has said it is safer to have one common cockpit alerting system for all versions of the 737.
☆ Boeing, Southwest defeat class actions over 737 MAX safety
  + stars: | 2022-11-21 | by ( Jonathan Stempel | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Nov 21 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday threw out class-action lawsuits accusing Boeing Co and Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N) of covering up a fatal flaw in the design of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane, and ordered that the litigation be dismissed. Boeing and Southwest did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The 737 MAX was grounded worldwide after 346 people died in the October 2018 crash of Lion Air Flight 610 in Indonesia and March 2019 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in Ethiopia. Passengers accused Southwest, Boeing's launch customer for the MAX 8, of pressuring Boeing into deceiving Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials during the testing and certification process, ostensibly to lower pilot training costs. In January 2021, Boeing agreed to pay $2.5 billion to resolve a U.S. Department of Justice criminal probe into the 737 MAX crashes.
☆ Passengers in fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes are ‘crime victims,’ US judge says
  + stars: | 2022-10-22 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
A US judge in Texas ruled on Friday that people killed in two Boeing (BA) 737 MAX crashes are legally considered “crime victims,” a designation that will determine what remedies should be imposed. The deal capped a 21-month investigation into the design and development of the 737 MAX following the deadly crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in 2018 and 2019. The families of the victims of the Ethiopian Airlines crash of the Boeing 737 Max jet held a vigil in front of the US Department of Transportation headquarters in Washington, DC on Sept. 10, 2019. Boeing wants Congress to waive a December deadline imposed by the legislation for the FAA to certify the MAX 7 and MAX 10. Last month, Boeing paid $200 million to settle Securities and Exchange Commission charges it misled investors about the MAX.
☆ Ethiopian Airlines consortium wins bid for new Nigeria airline

REUTERS/Tiksa Negeri/File PhotoABUJA, Sept 23 (Reuters) - A consortium led by Ethiopian Airlines is the preferred bidder for shares in new Nigerian airline Nigeria Air, the country's aviation minister said on Friday. Ethiopian Airlines will own a 49% stake in the new airline, while the Nigerian Sovereign Fund will take 46% and the Nigerian federal government the remaining 5%. Nigeria Air would have an initial capital of $300 million and plans to have 30 aircraft within four years, he said. Nigeria Air will launch with service between the capital Abuja and Lagos, the commercial capital, and add other routes later. "Nigeria Air is a limited liability company that will have no government intervention," he added.
☆ Boeing pays $200 million to settle SEC charges over 737 Max safety claims
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( The Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
Boeing Co. will pay $200 million to settle charges that the company and its former CEO misled investors about the safety of its 737 Max after two of the airliners crashed, killing 346 people. Neither Boeing nor Muilenburg admitted wrongdoing, but they offered to settle and pay penalties, including $1 million to be paid by Muilenburg, who was ousted in December 2019, nine months after the second crash. The SEC said Boeing and Muilenburg knew that the flight system, known as MCAS, posed a safety issue but promised the public that the plane was safe. “Boeing and Muilenburg put profits over people by misleading investors about the safety of the 737 Max all in an effort to rehabilitate Boeing’s image” after the crashes, said Gurbir Grewal, director of the SEC’s enforcement division. Boeing said it has made “broad and deep changes across our company in response to those accidents” to improve safety and quality.
☆ Boeing will pay $200 million to settle SEC fraud charges related to 2 deadly airplane crashes involving the company's 737 MAX aircraft between 2018 and 2019

Boeing will pay $200 million to settle charges it withheld information about safety issues in its 737 Max aircraft. The 737 Max aircraft crashed two times between 2018 and 2019. Boeing and Muilenburg purposely withheld information about the airplane's flight control functions from investors on numerous occasions, the SEC investigation found. In 2018, the 737 Max Aircraft, operated by Lion Air, crashed in Indonesia. After the 737 Max, run by Ethiopian Airlines, crashed in its home country in 2019, the SEC said Muilenburg and the company continued to mislead investors about the safety of the aircraft.

Directorul Agenţiei Europene de Siguranţă a Aviaţiei (EASA) a declarat pentru BBC că este "convins" că avionul Boeing 737 Max este acum sigur pentru transportul de persoane. Aeronavele Boeing 737 Max au fost menținut la sol din martie 2019, după ce au fost implicate în două accidente aviatice soldate cu aproape 350 de morți. În prezent, Boeing 737 Max a primit drept de zbor în SUA și Brazilia. Primul accident în care a fost implicat un avion Boeing 737 Max a avut loc în octombrie 2018, când o cursă Lion Air s-a prăbușit în Marea Indoneziei. Pentru a putea reveni în activitate, toate avioanele Boeing 737 Max vor fi echipate cu un nou program software, dar și modificări la instalația electrică și instrumentarul de bord.
