Boeing is currently considering its commercial strategy for the post-coronavirus pandemic. According to information from RTBF, the American manufacturer would consider restarting production of its Boeing 737 Max.
Originally, the restart of the production of the machine was planned for the month of April. But the spread of the virus forced the company to shut down its site that manufactured long-haul aircraft for at least 14 days.
Two crashes and more than 300 dead
As a reminder, all models of this type have been grounded since March due to two crashes that claimed the lives of 346 people. The origin of these accidents could be the MCAS anti-stall system of these devices. The American aircraft manufacturer therefore had to look into solving the problem.
Boeing is now awaiting the approval of the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) so that these planes can fly again in the sky. David Calhoun, the CEO of the manufacturer, was optimistic about the future of his business, in an interview with the American news channel CNBC. He estimates that the 737 Max should be able to circulate from the middle of 2020.
