President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the FAA was immediately grounding all Boeing 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 aircraft in the U.S. until further notice. The decision from the White House followed mounting pressure for action after many countries around the world grounded their Boeings following last Sunday’s crash of a Max 8 in Ethiopia. Sunday’s accident was the second loss of a 737 Max 8 in the past five months. Yesterday’s grounding affects all 371 of Boeing’s global fleet of 737 Max 8 & 9 aircraft.
