A Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operated by Southwest Airlines made an emergency landing Tuesday after experiencing an engine problem as it was being ferried from Florida to California, the US Federal Aviation Agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe aircraft returned and landed safely in Orlando,\u201d the FAA said in a statement, adding that no passengers were on board the aircraft, which was being transferred to Victorville, California for storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe FAA is investigating,\u201d added the agency, which grounded the Boeing 737 MAX on March 13 following two deadly accidents involving Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air but continues to allow the planes to be ferried from airport to airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Boeing 737 MAX 8 will be moved to our Orlando maintenance facility for a review.\u201d It was the latest setback for Boeing\u2019s flagship narrow-body plane following October\u2019s Lion Air crash and the Ethiopian Airlines accident earlier this month, which together killed 346 people.The accidents, which shared similarities, led authorities across the world to ground the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boeing has since conducted test flights of its 737 MAX to evaluate a fix for the MCAS stall prevention system targeted as a potential cause for the deadly crashes, two sources familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system has been criticized since it can malfunction and make it difficult for pilots to control the aircraft. Both of the recent crashes occurred moments after takeoff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
