Boeing has founded another potential design flaw for its 737 MAX jets, according to local media reports on Sunday.

In December last year, at the request of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Boeing conducted an internal audit to determine whether it accurately assessed the risks of critical systems, including the time it takes for a pilot to respond to an emergency situation.

However, New York Times reported that Boeing has found "previously unreported concerns" with wiring in the 737 Max.

Boeing 737 Max jets have been grounded across the world since March last year after initial probes showed that a fault in the flight control system was possibly behind two separate fatal air crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia in October and in March, respectively. The two crashes killed all 346 people aboard.
