737 Max planes prior to Trump's announcement
President Trump says he is grounding all U.S. flights on Boeing 737 Max 8 and 9
planes 'effective immediately' in an emergency order of prohibition.
Any plane that is currently in the air will be allowed to land, and then the
planes will be grounded until further notice, he said in a surprise announcement
on Wednesday afternoon.
Trump said he made the decision following conversations with Transportation
Secretary Elaine Chao, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg and acting FAA administrator
Dan Elwell after 'new information' and 'physical evidence' emerged on tragic
incidents involving the Max 8 aircraft.
'They are all in agreement with the action,' Trump announced from the White
House. 'Planes that are in the air will be grounded, if they're the 737 Max,
will be grounded upon landing at the destination.'
An Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed Sunday, shortly after taking off from Addis
Ababa. All 157 people on aircraft perished. A Lion Air flight on a 737 Max 8
crashed in October in Indonesia, taking the lives of its 189 passengers and
crew, too.
Airlines have been notified that the Boeing Max aircraft are being taken out of
circulation temporarily, and they are in agreement with the decision, Trump
claimed.
'Our hearts go out to all of those who lost loved ones, to their friends to
their families in both the Ethiopian and Lion airlines crashes that involved the
737 Max aircraft,' the president said. 'It's a terrible terrible thing. Boeing
is an incredible company. They are working very, very hard right now.'
Boeing will hopefully come up with an answer swiftly, he said. 'But until they
do, the planes are grounded.'
The company suggested in a statement a half-hour after Trump's shocking
announcement that the company asked the FAA to suspend the flights.
It said in the statement, as its stock shares started to tumble, 'Boeing
continues to have full confidence in the safety of the 737 MAX.
'However, after consultation with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and aviation
authorities and its customers around the world, Boeing has determined -- out of
an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the
operations of the entire global fleet of 371 737 MAX aircraft,' it said.
