The Boeing 737 MAX plane is about to land in a test flight in Seattle, Washington state, USA on June 29, 2020. Photo: AFP / VNA On May 11, Boeing said it delivered 17 planes in April, including four 737 MAX planes. Boeing CEO David Calhoun has warned that the number of aircraft delivered in April has been affected due to the aforementioned 737 MAX problem. The slow handover process will affect Boeing’s cash flow, as airlines and other customers typically pay a large portion of the value of their orders upon receipt. The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling aircraft, but was banned for 20 months after two plane crashes that killed 346 people. Handover operations resumed last November after Boeing updated its flight control system. But now, about 100 737 MAX planes are waiting for an electrical fault, and it takes Boeing longer than expected to fix the problem. Ed Pierson, a former Boeing manufacturing manager, said the aforementioned electrical error should have been discovered during the assessment of the 737 MAX after two crashes. He has “complained” for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for focusing only on the flight control system without examining problems in the production process. Boeing said it had received an order for 25 planes last month, but that 17 737 MAX planes were canceled, leaving the number of aircraft ordered to only eight.
