737 MAX software upgrade to be submitted by Boeing ‘in the coming weeks’
Boeing Co has planned to submit a proposed software enhancement package for the 737 MAX in “the coming weeks”. It was first announced by the company that the software update shall be submitted by last week.
On Monday, Boeing Co had confirmed a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration which said that the software update will be submitted later than the previously announced time.
Boeing said, “We are working to demonstrate that we have identified and appropriately addressed all certification requirements and will be submitting for FAA review once completed in the coming weeks. We will take a thorough and methodical approach to the development and testing of the update to ensure we take the time to get it right”.
After two continuous plane crash incidents (Indonesia in October and Ethiopia last month), more than 300 Boeing 737 MAX jets were grounded in most countries. The plane crash killed nearly 350 people.
