Recent documents have revealed that two major airlines, Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, were warned by Boeing about a potential issue involving bird strikes on the engines of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft. The warning stated that in the event of a bird strike, the passenger cabin could become filled with smoke.
Boeing's alert to the airlines mentioned that there had been two reports of engine failures following large bird strikes during takeoff and initial climb. This could lead to oil burning and the immediate presence of smoke and fumes entering the passenger cabin through the air conditioning system.
