Boeing said Thursday it has identified an additional software issue that the Federal Aviation Administration will require to be repaired before the planes are cleared to fly again, according to a company-led review following the 2 fatal Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashes, the Washington Post reports.

Details: Boeing characterized the newly detected issue, which is separate from the stall-prevention system as “relatively minor.” Two officials familiar with the FAA investigation said, per the Post, that the problem is still classified as "critical for safety." Boeing expects a fix “in the coming weeks.”
