Authorities uncover ‘minor’ issues possibly similar to those in JT 610


Sombre discovery: Indonesian navy divers resting after recovering the wheels of the ill-fated Lion Air flight JT 610 from the sea, north of Karawang.

Jakarta: Indonesia’s transport ministry said it had found “minor” faults in two other Boeing 737-MAX 8 jets, including a cockpit indicator display problem which an analyst said may be similar to one reported in the crashed Lion Air Jet.

The ministry is inspecting 10 of the newly released jets owned by Lion and flagship carrier Garuda, as authorities analyse data from a recovered black box that may help explain why flight JT 610 plummeted into the Java Sea, killing 189 people on Monday.
