PARIS - The co-founder of Indonesia’s Lion Air, one of two airlines that lost passengers and crew in recent crashes involving the 737 MAX, has lashed out at Boeing’s handling of the accidents as the potential business fallout from the jet’s grounding intensifies.
In a telephone interview, Kirana also accused Boeing of treating him as a “piggy bank”. Lion Air has spent tens of billions of dollars on plane orders with Boeing to become one of Asia’s largest budget carriers. Kirana said the contrasting reactions demonstrated that Boeing was taking fast-growing carriers such as his for granted.
Kirana’s comments - by far the strongest since the crash off Indonesia on Oct 29 - underscore the depth of a recent rift between Boeing and Lion Air, which has been balking at taking delivery of Boeing jets worth $21 billion at list prices. “Rusdi Kirana has been a leader and a pioneer in Asian aviation,” he said, adding that Kirana and his team “remain highly valued partners to Boeing”.Although safety experts have raised some questions over crew performance in both crashes, the regulatory fallout has been dominated so far by questions over MCAS anti-stall software, which Boeing has acknowledged provided a common link in the separate chains of events leading to both crashes.
