Boeing executives have conducted closed-door meetings with aircraft financing and leasing firms to outline the firm's response to two crashes of 737 Max planes which killed 346 people, according to anonymous participants. Consulting firm ICF said around one-third of the more than 380 delivered planes are leased, rather than owned, adding that American Airlines and United Airlines both recently extended their suspensions of the jetliner. Boeing said it planned to complete and hand over rectifications to the aircraft by the summer travel season.
