PARIS (Reuters) - Europe is set to lift its flight ban on the Boeing 737 MAX
passenger jetliner in January after U.S. regulators last week ended a 20-
month grounding triggered by two fatal crashes.
“We wanted to carry out a totally independent analysis of the safety of
this aircraft, so we performed our own checks and flight tests,” Executive
Director Patrick Ky told the Paris Air Forum, an online aviation conference
hosted by La Tribune.
“All these studies tell us that the 737 MAX can return to service. We have
started to put in place all the measures,” he said. “It is likely that in
our case we will adopt the decisions, allowing it to return to service, some
time in January.”
EASA’s decision is seen as the most important milestone after the FAA’s
approval since, as the watchdog responsible for Airbus, it too carries
significant weight in the industry. |
