'You can't go out there and start grounding aircraft and cause a disruption in air travel and business around the United States and around the world based on emotion,' Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., tells CNBC.
Quick actions by dozens of countries to ground Boeing 737 Max planes before new evidence emerged Wednesday were"premature" and not based on"facts," the ranking member on the Aviation subcommittee of the House Transportation Committee told CNBC.
New evidence emerged Wednesday showing that the behavior of the Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 before its crash Sunday was similar to that of the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 before it plunged into the Java Sea in October shortly after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
President Donald Trump said he spoke with Boeing's CEO, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and the acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration, Daniel Elwell, about the decision. Earlier in the week, U.S. flight attendants and ground crews urged their airlines to take their Boeing 737 Max airplanes out of service.
