Boeing has said the launch of improved software for its grounded 737 Max aircraft will be delayed. It had been expected to announce the upgrades at the end of March but said the announcement would be now made in “coming weeks”. The company is also facing a lawsuit from families who say they were misled by Boeing’s marketing about how long it could fly their children safely on the plane. acting administrator Dan Elwell said the 737 Max would be grounded until the agency’s own analysis of the aircraft found it safe to fly again. Airlines using the aircraft are re-organising schedules to cope with an indefinite grounding. Meanwhile, US lawmakers and officials are investigating FAA certification of the 737 Max.
