DALLAS: Boeing Co's 737 MAX is poised to make its first public appearance with media onboard since being grounded over fatal crashes, as one of its biggest customers, American Airlines, seeks to prove it is safe for passengers.
Wednesday's flight marks the first time anyone besides regulators and industry personnel have flown on the MAX since the grounding, which rocked the aviation industry and ignited investigations focusing on software that overwhelmed pilots. Boeing has said that airlines will take a direct role in demonstrating to passengers that the 737 MAX is safe.
Boeing toned down its original plans for the plane's return as the crisis dragged on longer than it expected - scrapping a high-profile publicity campaign, a ceremony in the Seattle area and a tour using an Oman Air 737 MAX, industry sources said.
We are never ever going to take the 737 Max again! No matter what!
I will never fly in the Boeing 737 MAX any more. My trust in Boeing is now 🗑️💩
