Boeing 737 Max 8 under intense scrutiny after two crashes in five months GlobeBusiness
Air Canada currently has 24 Boeing 737 Max 8s in its fleet, while WestJet Airlines Ltd. flies 13 of the planes and Sunwing Airlines has four, according to civil aircraft registrations in Canada.
Both Air Canada and WestJet expressed their condolences to family and friends affected by Sunday’s tragedy in Ethiopia. Driven by orders from Air Canada, WestJet and other carriers, the Boeing 737 Max is the fastest-selling aircraft in Boeing’s history, Boeing said, with more than 5,000 orders from some 100 customers.
On the Indonesian flight, the plane’s automatic anti-stalling feature repeatedly pushed down the plane’s nose and forced the pilots to correct the move manually. Shortly before radio contact with the plane was lost, the crew reported they could not read the plane’s altitude.
