Boeing readies 737 MAX software fix as families wait for crash report.
SEATTLE/KIGALI - Boeing Co will provide airlines that have bought the 737 MAX with free software upgrades, the U.S. manufacturer said on Monday, as Ethiopian Airlines told Reuters it expected a preliminary crash report this week or next.
The causes of separate Lion Air and Ethiopian Airline crashes are also still unknown, though Ethiopian Airlines Chief Executive Officer Tewolde Gebremariam said he trusts Boeing. The sessions follow a briefing with carriers including three U.S. airlines on Saturday, part of Boeing's effort"to communicate with all current, and many future, MAX customers and operators," a Boeing spokeswoman said.Lion Air Managing Director Daniel Putut said his airline would send two people on Wednesday, a pilot and an engineer.
The system ignited a debate over the proper balance between man and machine in piloting the latest version of the 50-year-old 737. Ethiopian and French investigators have pointed to"clear similarities" between the two crashes, putting pressure on Boeing and U.S. regulators to come up with an adequate fix.
