More than 100 new Boeing 737 Max jetliners remain grounded by problems with an electrical issue in some components, and airlines are waiting for Boeing to come up with a plan for repairing the planes. The Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday that it has notified other aviation regulators and airlines that it is working with Boeing "to fully identify and address" a problem with electrical grounding in a backup power-control unit.
The electrical issue affects certain planes that were delivered recently to airlines. Boeing discovered the problem on its assembly line and reported it to the FAA on April 7. A spokesman for the FAA said additional testing "showed the issue could involve additional systems."
