With airlines and governments around the world shutting down Boeing 737 Max airplanes after a second deadly crash of the aircraft, U. S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao is not only resisting the calls to ground the plane, she even flew one of the planes back to Washington Tuesday afternoon.
Chao and her staff flew on a Southwest Airlines 737 Max 8 from Austin, Texas to Washington, D. C. just hours after the Transportation Secretary was emphatic in saying her department will ground Max planes if it’s determined they are not safe to fly.
“The department and the FAA will not hesitate to take immediate and appropriate action,” Chao said.
