- defective – wadliwy
- withhold critical information – ukrywać najbardziej doniosłe dane/ informacje
Avia Capital Services is citing that the two deadly clashes, which killed a total of 346 people were due to “negligent actions and decisions of Boeing” not just in designing a plane that was “defective” but also in “withholding critical information” from the US aviation safety regulator during certification.

Avia Capital claims that Boeing “intentionally” failed to disclose information about the airworthiness of the Max to its customers in order to persuade them to buy the aircraft. Before the worldwide grounding in March, Avia ordered 35 Max 8 jets from Boeing, and now it wants the order cancelled.
The Financial Times said that Avia Capital now wants the deposit to be returned by Boeing with interest, along with $75 million in “lost profit” and about $115 million in damages.
