Boeing CEO to shareholders: 737 Max 8 will be 'one of the safest' planes to fly.
Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg faced shareholders in Chicago, Illinois for the first time since two fatal crashes involving 737 MAX 8 aircraft led to a worldwide grounding of the fleet.
“Overall, our talented test pilots have made 146 737 MAX flights totaling roughly 246 hours of air time with the updated software, and nearly 90 percent of our 50-plus MAX operators around the globe have experienced the software update themselves during one of our simulator sessions,” Muilenburg said.
The company announced last week that it was taking an initial $1 billion hit on the global grounding of its best-selling 737 MAX jet.
