US airlines prepare for 737 MAX tests, Southwest parks jets near desert
Teams from the three U.S. airlines that own 737 MAX jets were heading to Boeing Co`s factory in Renton, Washington, to review a software upgrade on Saturday, even as Southwest Airlines Co began parking its 34 MAXs near the California desert.
The factory visits indicate Boeing may be nearing completion of a planned software patch for its newest 737 following a fatal Lion Air crash in Indonesia last October. Image source: Reuters
