The modified Boeing 737 MAX has had its first passenger flight

The aircraft was shut down worldwide 21 months ago after two accidents that killed a total of 346 people. Since the accidents, the company has completely rewritten its computer software for the 737 MAX.

On November 18, the Federal Aviation Administration granted approval, thanks to which the plane could take off again. He conditioned it by modifying the machines and training the pilots.

“I know our pilots wouldn’t get on a plane if they thought it wasn’t safe,” American Airlines Chief Operating Officer Robert Isom told ABC News.

American Airlines is the only company that plans to return the best-selling Boeing aircraft back to service this year. The first commercial flight is scheduled for December 29 from Miami to New York. Carriers hope to regain passenger confidence.

However, relatives who have lost loved ones during the last two catastrophic flights are urging the public to caution and urging future passengers not to fly with this type of boeing.

Boeing lost billions of dollars due to the grounding of aircraft and the coronavirus pandemic. Last year alone, the company reported a loss of almost 14 billion crowns.
