The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said 106 Boeing 737 Max airplanes have been grounded worldwide by an electrical issue and said the American planemaker is still working on a fix.
Boeing disclosed an electrical power system issue on April 7 and recommended operators to temporarily remove these airplanes from service.
The problem involved the electrical grounding - or connections designed to maintain safety in the event of a surge of voltage - inside a backup power control system. The FAA said subsequent analysis and testing showed the issue could involve additional systems”.
The FAA said in a formal notice to international air regulators that 106 airplanes are covered, including 71 registered in the US. All of these airplanes remain on the ground while Boeing continues to develop a proposed fix, the agency added.
