Boeing 737 MAX Recertified!
In a previous article we reported that the FAA was due to make a decision on re-cetifying the 737-MAX for flying. Today Boeing anounced that the FAA has approved resumption of the 737 MAX operations.
As of today the aircraft can resume service subject to clearing the fixes notified in the airworthiness directives. Flight Crews will also need to undergo mandatory training before the aircraft can resume active flight service.
“The FAA’s directive is an important milestone,” said Stan Deal, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “We will continue to work with regulators around the world and our customers to return the airplane back into service worldwide.“
