From US regulators clear Boeing 737 MAX to fly again after two fatal crashes
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS regulators clear the Boeing 737 MAX to take to the skies again, ending its 20-month grounding after two fatal crashes.
The carrier’s workhorse gets the green light from the Federal Aviation Administration but will not fly right away.
Regulators in other countries also want to re-certify the plane. And the FAA says it must approve 737 MAX pilot training program revisions for each US airline operating the MAX.
The plane was grounded after two crashes that killed a total of 346 people last year. The company has since worked to fix a problem with a safety system that was supposed to keep the plane from stalling as it ascends. Instead it caused the noses of 737 MAX planes to point down and led to those crashes.
