Boeing grounds entire crash aircraft fleet

'Boeing has grounded its entire global fleet of 737 Max aircraft after investigators uncovered new evidence at the scene of the fatal Ethiopian Airlines crash.

The US plane-maker said it would suspend all 371 of the aircraft.

The Federal Aviation Administration said fresh evidence as well as newly refined satellite data prompted the decision to temporarily ban the jets.

The FAA had previously held out while many countries banned the aircraft.

The crash on Sunday in Addis Ababa killed 157 people.

It was the second fatal Max 8 disaster in five months after one crashed over Indonesia in October, claiming 189 lives.

Boeing said it "continues to have full confidence in the safety of the 737 Max".

However, it said that after consultation with the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board - which is conducting an investigation into the Ethiopian Airlines crash - it had decided to ground the flights "out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft's safety".'

Two US probes scrutinizing how Boeing 737 MAX got green light with ‘flawed’ flight system – report

'Days after media reported that the troubled Boeing 737 MAX 8’s certification lacked proper oversight and analysis, two US departments are looking into how the new jet was allowed to fly with a suspect flight control device.

A grand jury in Washington DC has subpoenaed at least one person behind the Boeing 737 MAX’s certification, according to the Wall Street Journal. The subpoena, initiated by the Justice Department’s criminal division, seeks documents and correspondence relating to the aircraft, which has been marred by two crashes in less than a year and is now grounded across the world.

Meanwhile, the Transportation Department’s inspector general has launched a separate probe into the approval of the 737 MAX by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The news comes amid mounting backlash against Boeing’s latest narrow-body aircraft. The company has delivered 371 MAX models around the world, and practically all of them are now grounded pending the results of probes into the Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people earlier this month.

Notably, the crash bears “clear similarities” to the Lion Air disaster in Indonesia, in which 149 people died in October aboard another 737 MAX, French investigators said in a statement Monday.

Meanwhile, a damning report by the Seattle Times, the hometown newspaper of Boeing HQ, alleged that the FAA delegated crucial parts of the certification process to the corporation itself.

It emerged that Boeing’s analysis contained flaws, including several relating to the so-called Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), a controversial flight control system investigators believe played a role in both incidents.'

May prepares to abandon plan to ask EU for nine-month Brexit delay after fuming cabinet ministers told her the Tories would only accept a three-month wait - as chaos STILL reigns 1,000 days after Britain voted to leave

'Theresa May is preparing to to abandon her plan to ask the EU for a nine-month Brexit delay after furious cabinet ministers told her the Tory party would only accept a three-month wait.

The Prime Minister is now thought to be considering writing to the EU asking for a shorter extension, as Downing street admitted last night that Britain's departure from the European Union is at a crisis point.

Mrs May was forced into a humiliating retreat after being put under severe pressure by senior ministers at a cabinet meeting last night and is now expected to write to Donald Tusk for a three month extension, rather than ask for a lengthier departure date. The sudden change of direction left some ministers reeling, one told The Sun: 'Nobody knows what the f*** is going on, or even who in No10 is actually gripping it. Maybe nobody is.

'The whole thing is a national humiliation on a scale we have not seen in many, many decades - if ever before.'

At the 90-minute cabinet meeting ministers were at loggerheads on just how long a potential extension would be.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson and International Trade chief Liam Fox were thought to be against a lengthy delay, as was Commons leader Andrea Leadsom.

She said: 'This used to be the cabinet that would deliver Brexit and now from what I'm hearing it's not.'

It comes a thousand days on from the 2016 referendum – and just ten days before the UK is due to leave the Brussels club.'
