Both brand new aircraft fresh off the production line. All new aircaft go through teething problems but this problem has cost 340 lives.
While we don't know the cause at the present time, it is extremely concerning.
I mean, as a pilot how would you honestly feel walking down the aerobridge getting on one of these things? No thanks.
First delivery of a max 8 was in 2017 to Malindo, 350 odd of type delivered since. Not that new.
