On March 12, local time in the United States, American aircraft manufacturer Boeing issued a statement on the operation of the 737MAX on its official website, saying it was confident enough in the safety of the 737MAX. On March 18, the Seattle Times investigated and stated that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s so-called safety certification of the Boeing 737MAX series was outsourced to Boeing itself."Due to lack of funds and resources, the FAA has granted Boeing more power over the years to take on more work to prove the safety of its aircraft." U.S. President Trump said on the 13th that he would order the United States to ground Boeing 737 MAX8 and 737 MAX9 aircraft. The FAA subsequently issued a statement to temporarily ground the 737MAX aircraft. According to the statement, the FAA's decision was based on newly collected evidence and "newly processed satellite data" obtained that morning. The flight ban will remain in effect during further investigations into the Ethiopian Airlines crash. Boeing Company of the United States issued a statement on the same day saying that it still has "full confidence" in the safety of the 737MAX aircraft, but after consulting with aviation regulators such as the Federal Aviation Administration, the company decided to recommend that the Federal Aviation Administration suspend all operations of the 737MAX aircraft for the sake of caution.
