This was stated by the lawyer of the Russian company Stephen Marks.
“The claim for damages exceeds $ 120 million. And with fines, it can be many times more than this amount. The jury will decide, ”the representative of the RIA Novosti defense quoted as saying.
According to Marx, Boeing “deliberately circumvented” the rules of certification of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“(They. - RT ) circumvented the rules of certification of the Federal Aviation Administration and tried to slip through a variation of the certificate 50 years ago, rather than doing what they should have. It was a completely different plane, which required a completely new type of certificate, ”said the lawyer.
He also said that Aviakapital-Service tried to resolve the dispute out of court, but Boeing did not agree on a solution acceptable to the Russian company.
Earlier, Aviakapital-Service confirmed the appeal to the Chicago District Court with a lawsuit against Boeing in connection with the intentional concealment of information about the suitability of 737 MAX for flights.
In March, Oleg Smirnov, head of the Civil Aviation Commission of the Public Council of the Rostransnadzor, in an interview with Nation News, admitted that the Sukhoi Superjet 100 model MC-21 could, if necessary, replace the Boeing 737 MAX in Russia.
