Also on the show a look at how to import bad older cars in uganda is pushing prices up and creating unhappy drivers. This is your Business Report im stephen theres a blend thanks watching us aircraft. Maker boeing will halt production of the 737. 00 max in january the 1st such production pause in more than 2 decades the decision comes as the popular planes grounding looks to extend well into next year the boeing says its already storing hundreds of max planes while awaiting recertification the freeze by one of the largest u. S. Exports will impact Suppliers Airlines and finance years across the globe as well as the u. S. Economy 737. 00 max jets were grounded in march after crashes in indonesia and ethiopia they killed 346 people. And for more on this im joined by d. W. Business reporter clifford couldnt clear thanks for joining me why is why is boeing choosing to do this now but basically the federal Aviation Administration has said that they wont be able to approve the 737 max to 2 to resume service again before next year which means that the boeing has had to take this decision now they had a Board Meeting in seattle and they came to they decided that now is the time to do it i gather that boeing has still been producing at this point what theyve been doing with those planes well theyve got a lot of planes in stock stockpiled now for want of a better word theyve got people you know there is demand for the planes but that they they still the demand wont really kick in until the safety issues are resolved and they need clarity right now they need they need to take these you know they still say its a great aircraft and its going to be the safest aircraft in the air when they finish resolving the issues that it has but basically what theyre trying to do is they they cant build any more planes because theyre just going to have a backlog of beef so because of all these that are already built and parked the big question of course is what does this mean for suppliers employer employees all these are connected sort of the boeing production universe well boeing is such a big company and its kind of been a drag on the u. S. Economy for several months you know looking out as well at that theres 600. 00 Companies Involved the supply chain for the boeing 737 max which is a significant. Number of people. However boeing has said they wont be furloughing anyone on they wont be making any job cuts so clearly theyre trying to limit the economic fallout from this but it will have a trickle down effect too to a lot of the Supplier Companies but again boeing hopes that by by introducing clarity and by resolving the issue that they can they can hopefully take the next step forward is there any timeline on when that recertification might happen allowing those planes to be delivered finally i mean i think boeing were hoping would happen in january. That was looking way too soon obviously. So we dont really have a timeline yet i think again that theyve sort of drawn a line in the sand now and they say we want to fix this safety issue and the f. A. A. Said were not going to let you in the air until you fix the safety issue so now we know we dont have a definite timeline yet at least we can kind of see that old instead of constantly trying to fight against regulators now you just are seeing this said ok we are Holding Production and were going to move forward with the timeline then right boeing may be bowing to react to realities year clifford Business Reporter thank you very much for joining us.
