Two years after a 737 Max system failure led to fatal crashes, airlines are rapidly bringing the Boeing jet back into service.
On Thursday, Southwest Airlines (LUV), which owns more of the jets than any other carrier, will become the 15th airline to fly the plane since the grounding was lifted in November. All 737 Max planes were grounded world-wide in March of 2019 after the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 — the second fatal crash in five months involving the jet. The two crashes killed everyone on board, a total of 346 people.More Related News
