Turkish Airlines prepping case against Boeing over 737 MAX: News agency

Turkish Airlines is preparing to open a court case against Boeing due to uncertainty regarding the plane manufacturer's 737 MAX jetliner, reports said Thursday evening. The 737 MAX grounding has cost the plane manufacturer more than US$9b so far. Turkish Airlines declined to comment on the news report. The airline has 24 Boeing 737 MAX planes in its fleet. In May, its chairman said the company expected compensation for losses incurred over the grounding of the planes. The Demiroren news agency said the airline was preparing to open a court case over both the uncertainty and Boeing's failure to make an adequate statement regarding the situation. It did not specify a source for the report. Boeing said Monday it would suspend production of the 737 MAX in January. <br/>
