Boeing 737 Max carrying no passengers makes emergency landing in Florida after an engine problem

Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft from the fleet that was grounded after two deadly crashes, made an emergency landing in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday after its pilots declared an emergency minutes after takeoff citing an engine problem.

No passengers were aboard Southwest Airlines Flight 8701, which was being ferried from Orlando International Airport to Victorville, California, for short-term storage during the grounding.

According to Flightaware.com, the flight lasted just 11 minutes.

It is not clear if Tuesday’s emergency landing was related to suspected problems with the aircraft. An investigation into the crashes focuses on an automated anti-stall system and not engine problems.

Airline regulators around the world grounded the model two weeks ago amid concerns the anti-stall system was behind two recent deadly crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia.

An Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX 8 crashed shortly after taking off from Addis Ababa on March 10, killing all 157 people on board.

Four months earlier, the same model operated by Indonesia’s Lion Air crashed shortly after taking off from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board.

The grounding has hit some carriers hard. Earlier this month, reports indicated that American Airlines had canceled 90 flights per day through April.
