China forms task force to review design changes to Boeing 737 MAX

China's aviation regulator said Tuesday that it had set up a task force to review design changes to the Boeing 737 MAX that had been submitted by the planemaker after the fleet was grounded last month. The CAAC has reverted to Boeing and the US FAA on issues regarding the aircraft's airworthiness and is waiting for their response, the Chinese regulator said. China was the first country to ground the newest version of Boeing's workhorse 737 model last month following a deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash March 10. Boeing filed an application March 15 through the FAA to obtain an airworthiness certificate from CAAC, the Chinese regulator said. CAAC said it had since set up a task force to review changes submitted by Boeing in accordance with a bilateral agreement between the US and China. <br/>
