Many countries have already grounded 737 Max planes and as of today the FAA have stated:




The aircraft will not fly until a software update can be tested and installed, the US regulator said.




So why are there currently 40 737 Max planes in flight according to FlightAware?



enter image description here



Who would be liable should one of these flights crash on takeoff, potentially over a densely populated urban environment?

Most of them are probably on a ferry flight. The EASA directive allows 1 transfer with up to 3 flight legs without passengers.



Some of them are travelling between countries where they are not grounded.



When a commercial plane crashes, the airline is liable, unless it can prove that the manufacturer is at fault.

    "The EASA directive allows 1 transfer with up to 3 flight legs without passengers" - to get the plane to a location where any corrective action can be taken. There is (yet) no corrective action, and when there is it will be a software upgrade which can be done just about anywhere...
