Abandoned programs before they even hit the market, or market failures like the A380’s recent, have been seen in the aviation industry. Two 737 MAX crashes and 346 dead in a few months, hundreds of planes immobilized, production stopped, the resignation of its managing director … For ten months, Boeing has been going through the most serious crisis in the history of the sector . It is the first time that a certified and operational device has been grounded for such a long time.
David Calhoun, the new general manager who took office on Monday, is responsible for finding a way out for the aircraft manufacturer. In all likelihood, the Boeing 737 MAX could begin test flights by March. Too optimistic, the American manufacturer had announced on several occasions the return in flight of the aircraft since the bans put in place last March. Deadlines each time pushed back.
