- Story Text: Indonesia plans to share a final report into a deadly Boeing 737 MAX crash with the families of victims on Wednesday (October 23), according to a spokesman for the country's air accident investigator, nearly one year after the deadly accident.
A Lion Air 737 MAX jet crashed into the Java Sea shortly after take-off from Jakarta on October 29, 2018, killing all 189 people on board.
The families of victims of the first crash will be briefed before the report on the loss of Lion Air flight 610 is made public according to the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Commission (KNKT).
A preliminary report into the Lion Air accident released last November focused on airline maintenance and training and the response of a Boeing anti-stall system to a recently replaced sensor but did not give a cause for the crash.
Boeing last month settled the first claims stemming from the Lion Air crash, a U.S. plaintiffs' lawyer said. Three other sources told Reuters that families of those killed will receive at least $1.2 million each.
U.S. planemaker Boeing is under growing pressure to explain what it knew about 737 MAX problems before the aircraft entered service. The 737 MAX was grounded worldwide following a second deadly crash in Ethiopia in March 2019.
