Akasa says Boeing 737 MAX software issue has no safety impact
In short
Akasa Air said a software issue on some Boeing 737 MAX aircraft does not affect the safety of its flights. The airline said it is working closely with Boeing.
This matters because Akasa may be planning to buy more than 200 Boeing 737 MAX jets, but the reporting does not say whether the issue changes those plans.
What the reporting says

The immediate effect appears limited, while any operational or order-related impact is not stated in the available reporting.
