WASHINGTON - The economic impact of Boeing Co's planned halt of 737 MAX production will not be considered by US regulators in their ongoing review of when to end the grounding of a plane involved in two major fatal crashes, US Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said on Friday.

"Regardless as to what the impact on GDP is, our responsibility is to ensure that the 737 MAX must be safe before it is ungrounded," Chao said, adding that "my job is protect" the FAA from any pressure the agency might face. Chao said her directive to FAA Administrator Steve Dickson is clear: "ensure that he finds out what happened, correct the problem and do not unground until FAA feels that it is safe."
