Both the US air traffic control agency FFA and customers and suppliers have been informed of this. Safety and compliance with official requirements have top priority before the machine type can be put into operation again.

No further delays expected
Boeing initially did not provide any further information on the nature of the problem. A source familiar with the process said it was a glitch that was causing trouble with other parts of the software.

Boeing is in a deep crisis after two plane crashes of 737 MAX aircraft with a total of 346 deaths. A worldwide flight ban has been in effect for this model since March. Investigators suspect that the accidents are related to a stabilization system that pushes the nose of the aircraft down if an impending stall occurs.
