UIA plans to go ahead with receiving its first Boeing 737 MAX 8 from Seattle in coming days and to receive two more by the end of this year, the airline’s spokeswoman Yevhenia Satska tells Ukrinform. In the last five months, two MAX jets have crashed, killing a total of 346 people. In response, air safety authorities around the world have grounded about two-thirds of the 370 jets in use. “UIA is closely following the investigation, official reports from the FAA and the Boeing concern, and is in constant dialogue with the aircraft manufacturer,” the airline’s press service tells Interfax-Ukraine.
