let's speak to our correspondent, theo leggett, in the business newsroom.l try to restore confidence in the certification process because the problem the faa has is that it certified the boeing 737 max as a safe aircraft. since then, two of them have been involved in accidents which on the surface look similar and we are expecting to hear in a few moments time in the preliminary report into the investigation into the ethiopian airlines crash that a flight the ethiopian airlines crash that a flight control system was a significant factor. if that is the case, a lot of questions will be asked about how the system, which was also implicated in a previous accident off indonesia came to be fitted and certified as safe. the implication is did they work together too closely and was enough due diligence done? those are the questions being looked at. because there are questions over both the plane itself and over how it became safety certified, bringing together other authorities around the world to review the safety certification looks like a sensible plan because o

our international business correspondent, theo leggett, is here.ons that the aircraft problems by the same thing as the identical mac 737 of indonesia last october. the second point is that the pilots did everything did everything they were supposed to do to try and rectify the situation and that is absolutely key. because after the first accident, boeing said that the aircraft was basically safe if the pilots do everything they're supposed to do, even if the system malfunctions, it should not be a problem. the evidences says we have a second accident caused by a similarfailure, the pilots did what they were meant to do in the aircraft crashed with a severe loss of life. are the plane still grounded? they are grounded at the moment and the safety process is going through. boeing has come up with a software solution that it thinks will make the aircraft perfectly safe again. the federal aviation authority which regulates the aircraft has invited other international regulators in to help with the process. fundamentally, you can fix the aircraft, but
