05 April 2019Boeing has decided to temporarily cut the production of its best-selling airliner, the 737 series, after the collapse of orders following the air disasters in Ethiopia and Indonesia that involved the 737 Max models. From mid-April production will drop from 52 planes a month at 42, Boeing said in a note, according to BBC News.

The plane was grounded almost worldwide after the preliminary results of the investigations on the two disasters confirmed the suspicions about the defectiveness of the anti-stall system software.

In both cases, the results - although not yet definitive - showed that the pilots had struggled strenuously to counteract the maneuvers implemented by the MCAS anti-stall system, even deactivating it, as suggested by Boeing's manuals.
