The Lufthansa will decide in the coming year on the purchase of new short-haul aircraft, and pulls for the two crashes blocked Boeing model 737 MAX into consideration. “We have lost our trust in Boeing ,” said Lufthansa Chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr at a press conference in New York on Tuesday (local time).
The US aircraft manufacturer will get the current Problem in the handle. In the coming year, the Lufthansa wool decide on the purchase of a three-digit number of short-haul flyers. To choose Airbus A320neo, the A220 (formerly Bombardier C-Series) and a Embraer model in addition to the 737 MAX, the Airbus. The new aircraft are intended to serve as a replacement for the then retired A319 and Bombardier CRJ.
Lufthansa has so far, not a 737 MAX 8 in. Such a new Boeing model of Ethiopian Airlines was at a 10. March a few minutes after the Start, crashed. In October, the 737, the Indonesian Lion Air fell also shortly after the departure into the sea. In the two plane disasters, 346 people died.
US Air traffic control FAA should have made error
The causes are not yet elucidated. But because this could be due to a technical Defect, deprived authorities in the world of the model, the start permission. Also Boeing, the 370 delivered to machines for the time being on the ground.
The manufacturer relies on the fact that the planes were after a proper authorisation by the US Air traffic control FAA for sure. However, according to media reports, the FAA has made in the process, possibly, error. Also, the accusation is in the area of the authority work closely with Boeing.
A Committee in the U.S. Senate wants to investigate these questions in a hearing on Wednesday (20.00 CET), with the representatives of the authorities. Lufthansa-Chef Spohr counts on in-depth education: “I believe that this country will not rest until you found out what really happened and what needs to be improved.” He expected that the authorities in Europe and elsewhere outside the United States Boeing-tested aircraft in the future in more detail.
so Far, the FAA and the European Supervisory EASA to recognize the shares of Boeing and Airbus models with each other. (Dec/sda)
