U. S. airlines in the United States delayed the rollout of Boeing's latest 737 Max flight-management software upgrades, continuing to use older versions after reporting multiple glitches in the U14 and U14.

Boeing first disclosed a software defect that could prevent the aircraft’s automated navigation system from operating during certain landing procedures, prompting the agency to review the issue. The FAA later postponed certification of the 737 Max 10 while it examined the same flaw, and Alaska Airlines chief executive Ben Minicucci said the delay did not raise major concerns.
