The future of Boeing Co.’s modern 737 Max planes now rests in the hands of nearly 700 workers in a hangar at a desert airport in Washington state.
In an article published by a foreign news agency, it has been stated that the repair work of Boeing 737 Max aircraft is being done here 24 hours a day.
Software and other systems are being updated as mandated by the US Federal Aviation Administration.
Desert Airports Director Rich Miller says that the company has stepped up its operations following the order to lift the ban on Boeing flights this week. The ban was imposed after two plane crashes.
About 240 jets are being inspected by workers at the Grant County International Airport in Moses Lake. About half of the jets at the airport are worth about $16 billion, according to investment firm Jefferies.
Analysts say that the process of clearing the fleet of 450 aircraft is of utmost importance before the purposeful production of the aircraft can begin.
The task is also complicated because after the planes were grounded, some buyers abandoned their intention to purchase the planes.
Each jet parked on the tarmac has a red engine installed while their wheels are covered. A windshield screen is installed to protect from the sun, while a small generator provides light and fresh air to the aircraft.
The Boeing Company has to restore more than 800 of its 737 Max planes, 450 of which are owned by Boeing while 387 were in service with the airline when the Federal Aviation Administration ordered it to be grounded in March 2019. .
Boeing jets are making a comeback at a time when the demand for new planes and air travel has fallen due to the global pandemic of the coronavirus. Boeing is also facing new European trade tariffs and apparent mistrust.
Schonemann, managing director of the supplier company, has said that significant deliveries by the airline and its supply chain before 2022 appear difficult. Corona epidemic is the biggest problem for our industry.
Airlines say the planes will need two weeks for software and repairs, and Boeing has deployed teams around the world to provide support to airlines.
The 737 Max was priced at $122 million, with several of the planes being sold exclusively at a 50 percent discount. Jet traders say the new price could be even lower with further discounts on the Max aircraft.
On the other hand, the Federal Aviation Administration has said that it will inspect all 450 planes. It may take at least a year to complete this verification process.
It should be noted that the Boeing company is also paying 51 thousand dollars per month for the parking of Max planes.
