JAKARTA, Indonesia — A brand-new Boeing Max 8 jet that crashed into the Java Sea last week had problems with its airspeed indicator during its final four flights, Indonesian investigators said on Monday.

Analyzing the contents of a flight data recorder that was recovered from the seabed on Thursday, members of Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee, which is leading the investigation into the crash of Lion Air Flight 610, found that inaccurate airspeed readings continued for three days, despite the plane having been repeatedly cleared for takeoff.

The Max 8, the latest model of Boeing’s workhorse 737, entered commercial fleets only last year. The plane that crashed a week ago was delivered to Lion Air, one of the world’s fastest-growing low-cost carriers, in August.

“We think this is an issue that is important because there are more than 200 Max planes around the world,” said Capt. Nurcahyo Utomo, the transportation safety committee’s lead accident investigator.
