U-Dennis Muilenburg, uMongameli, uSihlalo kunye neGosa eliLawulayo leNkampani ye-Boeing, uthe inkampani yakhe ayiphumelelanga ngokufanelekileyo ukuphumeza isilumkiso sokhuseleko kwinqwelomoya yayo eyi-737 MAX, eyamiswa kwihlabathi jikelele ngenxa yeengozi ezimbini ezibulalayo zenqwelomoya.

"Ngokucacileyo sasilela… Ukuphunyezwa kwale software, khange siyenze ngokuchanekileyo," utshilo uMuilenburg.

"Iinjineli zethu ziyifumene loo nto," watsho, esongeza ukuba inkampani iyasebenza ukusombulula ingxaki.

Inqaku lokhuseleko linokwazisa abaqhubi beenqwelo moya ngeengxaki zakuqala ngenqwelomoya, kwaye kungenzeka ukuba kuthintele ukwaphuka kwenqwelomoya e-Ethiopian Airlines 302 ngo-Matshi, uChris Brady, umbhali we-Boeing's 737 technical Guide, uxelele i-BBC.

"Ndiqinisekile ukuba inqwelo moya ye-Ethiopian Airlines ngekhe iphazamise ukuba bebefumana i-AOA," utshilo u-Brady, ebhekisa kwisoftware yokhuseleko.

Ingozi, eyabulala bonke abakhweli abali-157, ngoku kusaphandwa, kodwa oyena mrhanelwa uphambili kukusilela kwenkqubo yolawulo lwenqwelomoya. Ukubhabha ngenqwelomoya i-Lion Air iphume e-Indonesia, ikwayi-737 MAX, kuthiwa ifumene ingxaki efanayo ngo-Okthobha ophelileyo ngaphambi kokuwa, yabulala abantu abali-189 ababekhwele kuyo.

Kwinyanga ephelileyo u-Boeing wathi isilumkiso, esinokubangela ukuba abaqhubi beenqwelomoya balandele inkqubo eyahlukileyo yexesha likaxakeka, "khange kuthathwe njengokhuseleko kwindawo yeenqwelo moya kwaye akuyomfuneko ekusebenzeni ngokukhuselekileyo kwenqwelomoya."

I-US Federal Aviation Administration igqibe kuphando lwangaphakathi kwangoko kulenyanga ukuba iarhente yehlulekile ukongamela ngokufanelekileyo uvavanyo lwezokhuseleko luka-Boeing kwi-737 MAX, ibhekisa kwiingcali zenkampani yayo kwaye ivumela iinkqubo ezingalunganga ngenkqubo yokuvunywa yiarhente.
