Two crashes in five months
are the reason why 350 new Boeing aircraft are currently grounded.
Southwest Airlines, with 34 of the jets,
says that the grounding is costing them about $50 million in revenue, PER MONTH!
There are a total of 350 grounded 737 MAX aircraft worldwide,
with various airlines. Boeing is working to get the aircraft flying again as soon as possible, but it will obviously take time to clear the necessary government hurdles.
Airlines are hoping to have the planes back in the air by the summer 2019 travel season.
These hopes may be a bit optimistic, but we'll see if Boeing can fix the problem before the airlines lose too much faith in them.
