March 12, 2019 -
Australië, Brazilië, China, Indonesië, Mexico, Singapore en Zuid-Afrika
hebben vluchten met de Boeing 737 MAX 8 van en naar hun luchthavens
stopgezet na de tweede dodelijke crash in minder dan zes maanden.
The narrow-body 737 Max 8 is the newest version of Boeing’s 737 families, which have flown for more than 50 years. The single-aisle jet generates almost one-third of the company’s $10.45 billion profit in 2018.
The 737 class is a workhorse for airlines worldwide, and Max 8 planes flew more than 8,500 flights worldwide in the week beginning February 25, according to Flightradar24, a flight tracking service. The most popular routes were in North America and China.
