Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9 aircraft will remain grounded until at least May 2019, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said.
US Representative Rick Larsen said that the software upgrade would take a few weeks to complete, and installing it on all the aircraft would take “at least through April”.
The FAA said on Wednesday that a software fix for the 737 MAX that Boeing had been working on since the Lion Air crash would take months to complete.
