Boeing Co Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg, facing the biggest crisis of his tenure, said on Monday that the company understands "lives depend on the work we do" and was taking steps to "fully ensure" the safety of the 737 MAX jet in the wake of deadly crashes.
Investigators into the Boeing Co 737 MAX crash in Ethiopia more than a week ago have found striking similarities in a vital flight angle with the 737 MAX that came down off Indonesia, piling pressure on the world's biggest plane-maker, reports Reuters/AP.
Boeing is fully cooperating with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation and National Transportation Safety (DTNTS) board on all issues relating to the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines accidents, Muilenburg said.
U.S. prosecutors are looking into the development of Boeing's 737 Max jets, and French aviation investigators concluded there were "clear similarities" in the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines Max 8 recently and a Lion Air jet in October.
