The acting chief of the Federal Aviation Administration defends his agency's safety certification of the Boeing 737 MAX jetliner in the wake of two fatal crashes.

The US Federal Aviation Administration 's priorities are being questioned after the regulator was so slow to ground its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8s after two crashes in four months, writes Andrew Robertson.

"[I] thought that the MCAS should have been more adequately explained in the ops manual and the flight manual," Mr Elwell said. "In the US, the 737 MAX will return to service only when the FAA's analysis of the facts and technical data indicate that it is safe to do so," he said.
