Nigerian experts call for suspending commercial operations of Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets

Source:Xinhua Published: 2019/3/13

Aviation professionals in Nigeria called for temporary suspension of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from commercial operations due to safety concerns.

Experts from Aviation Round Table (ART), an aviation think-tank group, made the call in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lagos following Sunday's crash of a B737 MAX 8 aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines.

Gbenga Olowo, president of ART, said in the statement that the Ethiopian Airlines incident was the second within five months coming on the heels of the crash in Indonesia of the same aircraft type operated by Lions Air in October 2018.

According to Olowo, these fatal accidents call to question the safety of the Max 8 series.

"Curiously, there had been no reported case of such fatal accidents of the aircraft in the United States since the aircraft came into operations," he added.

Olowo urged Boeing and the US aviation regulatory bodies to jointly consider these recurring fatal accidents on the B737 MAX as a calamity to the global traveling community.

"We noted that some countries have grounded the B737 MAX on their fleet pending the determination of the cause of the incessant crashes," he said.

"ART is very hopeful that these aviation bodies would respond promptly to the demand that the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft be suspended from commercial operations," Olowo said.

Boeing reputation is down the drain now

The question is if you know for sure its junk, then why are you using it in your a/c programs? If you can "made those things" then please save this world from US junk - actually save your self first from US junk by dumping GE, PW etc. Engines and avionics are the most critical portion of the a/c and you are importing them from US companies as I pointed out - the rest is airframe.

China got to where she is by way of importing as much US 'junk' as possible. Everything from household appliances to aviation to semiconductor. The word 'import' is used generously here. The context includes legal and illegal means of technology acquisition.

Only orange monkeys will support such people-killing junks.

The entire Muricano craps should be thrown into the monkey forests poisoned by orange agents.

Orange meaning?

Take the "L" like a good boi and walk away.

BEIJING — When China on Monday became the first country to order all Boeing 737 Max 8 planes grounded in the aftermath of an Ethiopian Airlines crash Sunday, its aviation regulator sent an unmistakable signal: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is no longer the only authority in civil aviation worldwide.....

haha, it gave China too much credit. China just grounded its own fleet of Boeing 737 Max 8, and it didn't have go out of its way to encourage, pressure or even threaten other countries to follow suit.

To be fair, Boeing 737s have been good planes. The problem is the software patch MCAS for Max 8. Here is the guy who is responsible for Boeing software.

Indeed, many countries followed suit after China announced the grounding. Only the US seems to resist, and the FAA says there is no need.

That's real leadership, not the US's thuggery.

It all makes sense now. But it's really the fault of whoever allowed a Supapowa 2012 to get anywhere near critical software. Or any software, for that matter.

China can use this Boeing crisis to get concessions from Boeing and the US. Boeing needs the Chinese market to grow. Get the technology. That will help China long term.

Don’t let this crisis go to waste.

 

[ohmrlobalobayeh]

The only thing you and your Chinese friends are good at is trolling. I stand by my record about this subject on this forum. It has been CONSISTENT since '09 that I have always advocated people to hold off their opinions until the investigation is complete. Waiting for information, especially technical information, have NEVER been you guys' strong suit. Simply put, you guys troll brains cannot process such sophisticated knowledge.

no, stop the diversion.

i repeat:

im only keen to know what are you going to do about it(about China grounding all its 737 max, regardless of the results of the investigation- and leading others to do the same)?

 

[Beidou2020]

Don’t forget that Boeing’s weapons have slaughtered millions of innocent people.

Don’t have any sympathy for this company.

Only 36% of Indian engineers can write compilable code: study
"We find that out of the two problems given per candidate, only 14% engineers are able to write compilable codes for both"

I am NOT SURPRISED as India RANK 31 in ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.
That's Supa Powa India SUPA IT POWA quality for you.

Indians are mostly only GOOD at BRAGGING for their subservient CHEAP CARETAKER MANAGERIAL CEOs for International Companies while their founder owners take time off to enjoy their wealth and leisure.

LOL... Sourgraped. The European and Airbus will heap more coal on USA but banning all Boeing 737 Max. Look at poor America, bragging about plenty of western allies who cant wait to give US a kick to sink you further.

You have no friend. US is alone

Riddle solved. That explains the two crashes
