The U.S. might approve the 737 MAX to fly — but will the rest of the world follow?
The Federal Aviation Administration may be close to letting Boeing’s 737 MAX back in the skies — but it's not clear the rest of the world is ready to follow.
Boeing has said it expects the plane to be back in service, at least in some places, starting in the fourth quarter of this year, and the FAA could perform a certification flight as soon as next month. But Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg acknowledged last week that the plane could face a “phased ungrounding,” in which it would be allowed to fly in some countries but not others.
EASA leader Patrick Ky said in early September that once the FAA determines the plane is safe to fly again, “it’s very likely that international authorities will want a second opinion, or a third opinion.”poster="http://v.politico.com/images/1155968404/201903/2191/1155968404_6013595870001_6013591381001-vs.jpg?pubId=1155968404"Guillaume Faury, the CEO of Boeing’s rival manufacturer Airbus, attributed the shift to a “break of trust on the FAA process that has enabled this situation.
"Each government will make its own decision to return the aircraft to service based on a thorough safety assessment," the FAA added. "It’s common for aviation authorities to conduct test flights of new aircraft and major derivatives that other civil aviation authorities certificate."
