The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it plans to issue a proposed airworthiness directive for the Boeing 737 MAX in the"near future" to address changes made since the plane was grounded in March 2019 after two fatal crashes killed 346 people.
An official briefed on the matter told Reuters that the FAA is unlikely to unground the 737 MAX before sometime in October. Boeing Co did not immediately comment but has said previously it expects to resume deliveries before Sept. 30 following regulatory approval.The crisis has cost Boeing more than US$18 billion, slashed production and hobbled its supply chain, with criminal and congressional investigations still ongoing.
On July 1, the FAA said it had completed three days of certification test flights on the 737 MAX's automated flight control system.
