Polish Airline LOT has the biggest fleet of 737-8MAX in continental Europe..grounded [18]
While no german airline has ordered a single 737-8MAX, the polish LOT has ordered over 12 machines of that type.
LOT is the only EU airline that has not a single airbus in its fleet. American ass kissing of the finest and now they get the boot for it.
Its entire 737-8MAX fleet is grounded and not allowed to fly in the EU. They aircraft has a massive design flaw. Its said for each grounded aircraft, the airline makes each day 250.000 € losses. LOT has 5 of the flawed aircrafts already in service. Which means they make 1.25 million losses each single day.
Today it was announced teh fligh recorder of the crashed ethiopian airlines machine shows same data as teh crashed Lion Air machine in Indonies. Experts say the aircraft has a serious flaw. Its engines (which were originally intended for A320) are too big for the old hull design.
A critical design flaw that cant be changed easily. Even more so on machines already build .
Boeing said nothing about compensations. LOT most likely will need to go year long law suits. But even more pressing is how Poland will try to replace the flawed aircrafts. Airbus order books are full.
