Boeing Co. canceled a conference call that it scheduled for Tuesday with airlines to discuss issues swirling around its newest plane, which has come under close scrutiny after a deadly crash in Indonesia.
The company didn't immediately give an explanation for canceling the call, which would have included American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, all of which have Boeing 737 Max aircraft in their fleets.
The audience for the call included technical experts at airlines that fly the Max. The first item on the agenda was to review differences in flight control systems between the Max and its predecessor 737 model, called the NG or next generation, according to people briefed on plans for the call.
Pilots for U.S. airlines have complained that they were not told about a new feature in the Max that could pitch the nose down sharply if sensors indicate that the plane is about to stall.
