Some Boeing 737 MAX planes temporarily grounded after ‘potential’ issue

NEW YORK: US aircraft manufacturer Boeing said on Friday it had recommended that 16 airlines flying its 737 MAX planes address a “potential electrical issue” in a new setback for the top-selling model.
Major carriers began temporarily removing some of their MAX planes from service after the aerospace giant flagged the electrical issue — which is not a concern for all of the aircraft.
The potential problem requires “verification that a sufficient ground path exists for a component of the electrical power system,” Boeing said.
