Indonesia Orders Inspections of Boeing Max 8s
Directive stems from October 29 crash of Lion Air Flight JT 610

Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation on Tuesday ordered an airworthiness inspection on all Boeing 737 Max 8s registered in the country as rescuers sifted through the wreckage of Lion Air Flight JT 610 in an attempt to recover the victims and retrieve the flight data and cockpit voice recorders. Lion Air’s fleet now includes ten 737 Max 8s and Garuda Indonesia took one last December, before deferring the rest of its deliveries amid financial troubles.
