Boeing did not immediately comment, but said last Thursday it was standing by its “present mid-2020 estimate for return to service” of the best-selling MAX, which has been grounded worldwide since March after two fatal crashes killed 346 people.One unresolved issue remains over whether Boeing will need to adopt design changes to address two bundles of wiring that may be too close together, which potentially could lead to a short circuit and a crash if pilots do not respond appropriately.
The issue has been under discussion by the FAA and Boeing for more than a month and it is not clear when it will be resolved. Last week, Boeing said it was continuing to “perform the appropriate analysis including lab testing, fleet data assessment and third party reviews.” It said it was “premature to speculate as to whether this analysis will lead to any design changes.”
