WASHINGTON: Boeing will temporarily stop making the 737 Max next month, its most popular passenger jet, the company said on Monday.

Following two fatal crashes due to the MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) the aircraft has been grounded around the world. However, despite increasing compensation claims from airlines Boeing has continued to produce 737 MAX aircraft at a rate of 42 frames per month.
