WestJet Discovers Software Glitch on Boeing 737 MAX

WestJet was the first airline to report an anomaly in the Boeing 737 MAX's flight computer software. The issue was discovered during a validation flight in 2024, and WestJet promptly informed Boeing with supporting data.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) later concluded a Corrective Action Review Board on the issue, deeming it safe for flight.

This incident highlights the importance of airline vigilance and collaboration with manufacturers to ensure airworthiness.
