The American Boeing Group announced that as of January it will suspend the production of "737 MAX" aircraft, which has been banned from flying nine months ago after two air strikes, noting that this decision will not cause jobs at the moment.

"We have already stated that we will continuously evaluate our production plans if Max's flight continues to be prevented for a period longer than we expected," the group said in a statement.

"As a result of this continuous evaluation, we have decided to prioritize the delivery of the stored aircraft and the temporary suspension of production in the 737 program as of next month," the statement added.

The group pointed out in its statement that the decision to suspend production will not lead at the moment to the abolition of jobs in Boeing, but this matter will inevitably have negative repercussions on the companies contracting with the American aviation giant.

The decision to suspend production, taken during a meeting held on Monday, was based on a number of factors, most notably the certainty regarding when and how the plane will be returned to service, as well as licenses related to training pilots in this type of aircraft worldwide, according to the statement.

Although the "737 MAX" aircraft had been lying on the ground for nine months, Boeing continued to produce this model, with 400 aircraft of this type in its stores.

The world aviation authorities had ordered the suspension of the 737 MAX flight following the crash of a Lion Air plane in October 2018 in Indonesia, and then another Ethiopian Airlines plane of the same type in March in two air disasters that killed 346 people. .
