The model, which two aircraft of its kind crashed in a short time due to a problem with the aircraft programming, is grounded around the world for about nine months • The final decision is expected tomorrow

Following the rejection of the Boeing 737 Max Grounds clearance, Boeing is considering discontinuing the production of additional aircraft of this model until further notice, and disabling all production lines. A final decision will be made today or tomorrow, after two days of discussions by the Chicago management.

The U.S. Aviation Authority has announced that the land cancellation will not happen until this January as there is still work to be done. It is the longest ground period ever for US commercial aircraft. It was also reported that the aircraft release process would be slow, with each aircraft being checked before returning to service, to verify service and software updates to avoid a disaster like the two fatal crashes.

Cancellation of the land will probably be postponed until March. Airlines that have landed planes of this model and companies that have booked but did not receive aircraft have announced that this model will not be scheduled for flights before March, and that date may also be postponed. In March, a year will mark the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines plane. In November last year was the first crash, and after the second it became clear that there is a malfunction in a stabilization system designed to prevent erection.

Since then, hundreds of aircraft of this type have been grounded, and airlines have started operating alternative aircraft until the aircraft is re-licensed. In the parking lots of Boeing's manufacturing plants, there is no longer any space for more finished aircraft, and the parking spaces of employee vehicles have also been confiscated in favor of the grounded aircraft. So far, Boeing has only slowed production of Max models, and has not stopped it. In a statement released yesterday, Boeing said: "We will continue to consider manufacturing decisions based on the timing and conditions for returning the aircraft to service, which depends on regulatory approvals, which may differ from state to state."

Aviation Authority CEO Steve Dixon met with Boeing CEO Dennis Moillenberg yesterday to discuss the progress of the re-licensing process. Dixon said at the meeting that "the airport has no intention of canceling the ground before January, and there is still much to be done before that happens." Dickson said there are still dozens of milestones that need to be completed before the appearance of the Max models can be confirmed. At the same time, the Authority is investigating the 737 aircraft production line in Renton City, Washington. Dixon expressed concern about Boeing's public statements, saying that they were "intended to pressure the PA to act more quickly."
