The Boeing 737 MAX can be admired again in European airspace from January. That said director Patrick Ky of the European regulator EASA on Saturday. The aircraft has been grounded worldwide for almost two years after two crashes. Earlier this week, the American counterpart of EASA already gave the green light for the return of the 737 MAX.
Ky said last month that the problem plane is considered completely safe again and the paperwork is being finalized. According to him, all investigations show that the aircraft can be put back into service.
The American aviation authority FAA already gave the green light to the popular Boeing aircraft last week. The FAA expects to see the aircraft back in the air next month or early next year. The troubled plane has been aground for almost two years after two fatal crashes. A total of 346 occupants were killed.
After the second accident in March 2019, flights with the aircraft were banned worldwide. It later turned out that the disasters were caused by a failing safety system, which pushed the nose of the aircraft down. That defect has been resolved with a software update. Before the aircraft can take to the air again, pilots still have to undergo additional training and manuals must be adjusted.
