Indonesia lifts Boeing 737 Max ban
Indonesia has finally lifted the grounding on the Boeing 737 Max. The aircraft was grounded globally March in2019 after two deadly crashes within the space of a few months. The first of the two crashes involved Indonesia’s Lion Air which led to the loss of all 189 people onboard.
The lifting of the ban is effective immediately. Lion Air operated 10 Max planes at the time of the loss grounding. Indonesia flag carrier Garuda says it doesn’t plan to operate its Max jets as it continues debt restructuring and shrinks its fleet by about two-thirds.
