Safety fears about Boeing 737 MAX grip US passengers vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Following the second deadly crash of one of its aircraft, some US politicians also have called for the plane to be grounded while the investigation continues, but regulators so far have not taken that step.
The European Union, Britain, Germany, France and China are among the governments that have banned the plane from their airspace, and the Twitter hashtag #GroundBoeing737max8 was created to urge the US authorities to do the same. “We are fielding some questions from customers asking if their flight will be operated by the Boeing 737 MAX 8,” Southwest spokeswoman Michelle Agnew said, adding that, as usual, the airline allowed re-booking at no charge.
The Association of Flight Attendants formally called for an investigation by the US Federal Aviation Administration. And Senator Mitt Romney said on Twitter, “Out of an abundance of caution for the flying public, the @FAANews should ground the 737 MAX 8 until we investigate the causes of recent crashes and ensure the plane’s airworthiness.”President Donald Trump weighed in with a blistering tweet, saying “Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly.”
