Garuda in Talks to Bring 737 Max Back Years After Fatal Crashes

Cash-strapped carrier PT Garuda Indonesia is in talks to bring Boeing Co.’s 737 Max 8 aircraft back to its fleet for the first time since the fatal 2018 PT Lion Mentari Airlines crash shook confidence in the plane’s reliability.

The 737 Max 8 would be leased from BOC Aviation Ltd., which said in a statement that it has “been in commercial discussions with Garuda in respect of one B737-8 aircraft,” according to Timothy Ross, BOC Aviation’s head of investor relations.
