Major air regulators to join FAA's review panel on Boeing's 737 MAX

China, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Ethiopia, Indonesia and at least five other major regulators are expected to join the US FAA’s review panel on the Boeing 737 MAX, officials said Tuesday. China confirmed on Tuesday it would join the review, while Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Singapore previously said that they would join the panel. Officials told Reuters that Australia, EASA, Brazil, Indonesia and Ethiopia are also expected to take part. Former NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart, who is chairing the review, told reporters on Friday that it would begin later in April and would take about 90 days. Hart said the review is in response “to the growing need for globalization ... because these airplanes are all over the place” and to the need for a “uniform response.” The FAA said last week it was forming an international team to review the safety of the aircraft, grounded worldwide following two deadly crashes.<br/>
