Groundings
After the Ethiopian Airlines crash, China and most other civil aviation authorities grounded the airliner over perceived safety risks. Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg assured President Donald Trump  the airplane was safe, in response to Trump's social media comments. Having new evidence of accident similarities, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the aircraft on March 13, 2019, reversing a Continued Airworthiness Notice issued two days prior. About 30 MAX aircraft were flying in U.S. airspace at the time and were allowed to reach their destinations. By March 18, regulators grounded all 387 of the MAX aircraft in service with 59 airlines worldwide making 8,600 flights each week. Several ferry flights were operated with flaps extended to circumvent MCAS activation.
