Boeing identifies software glitch, issues a bulletin to airlines
This glitch comes days after Airbus too, earlier in the week, detected a quality issue with the surface protection coating
Boeing has identified a software glitch in its B737 MAX planes which could cause the automated flight guidance system to disengage during a second attempt at landing. This issue has prompted the company to issue a bulletin to airlines, urging them to reset the system as a precautionary measure. Currently, two Indian airlines, Air India Express and Akasa Air, own a combined total of 96 B737 MAX planes.
Air India Express, with 53 aircraft, and Akasa Air, with 43 aircraft, make up the majority of these planes in Indian service. Both airlines have stated that they are in communication with Boeing and assure that the safety of their operations remains their top priority. Boeing spokesperson confirmed that they had previously informed all 737 operators about the software issue, which was intended to reinforce existing pilot procedures for safely handling such situations.
