WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. lawmakers are holding intensive discussions about whether to extend a key certification deadline for two new versions of Boeing (NYSE:)’s best selling 737 MAX, lawmakers and aides said.
The largest U.S. planemaker is seeking an extension from Congress of a December deadline imposing a new safety standard for modern cockpit alerts for the 737 MAX 7 and 737 MAX 10.
“We do want to push for safety enhancements and we’ll see what happens – some people just want a straight extension,” Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell told Reuters late on Tuesday, saying there is no agreement yet.
