INDONASIA Govt to inspect all Boeing 737 MAX jets after Lion Air crash
The Indonesian government has ordered the inspection of all Boeing 737-MAX airliners, as rescue teams recovered more victims from a brand new jet that plunged into the sea with 189 people on board.
The Lion Air plane, which went into service just a few months ago, plunged into the Java Sea on Monday just minutes after taking off from the capital, Jakarta.
Indonesian Transport Minister Budi Karya announced on Tuesday that both Lion Air – the country’s biggest budget airline – and Garuda – the national carrier – have been ordered to inspect all their Boeing 737-MAX planes.
Budi, who stopped short of grounding all new models, said the results of the inspections will be handed over to Indonesia’s transport safety agency to help with the investigation into the crash of Flight JT610.
