Boeing plans first 737 MAX delivery to ANA from December

Boeing plans to deliver its 737 MAX to ANA for the first time from December onward.

The plane maker and the Japanese airline are working together on safety, including ANA sending its own inspectors to the factory.

The 737 MAX has a troubled history: two crashes in 2018 and 2019 killed more than 300 people.

In January 2024, a door blew off an Alaska Airlines plane during flight, adding to safety concerns.

The delivery matters because it brings the aircraft to a new airline despite those past incidents.

Boeing has shown safety measures at its main factory, and the first delivery to ANA is planned from December.
