'Will be one of the safest airplanes ever to fly': Boeing chief optimistic that grounded 737 MAX planes will fly soon
Both aircraft went through a series of rapid climbs and dives before crashing, killing everyone on board.
Boeing has been frantically working on a software fix to solve any issues with the system, such as reducing the MCAS's inputs to the flight controls and it no longer being triggered by a single sensor giving a wrong reading. He added that Boeing staff were "comprehensively testing the software to make sure that it does the job and they are taking the time to get it right. Safety is our responsibility, we own it and the work of the team will make the 737 Max one of the safest aeroplanes ever to fly".
