Boeing 737 Max likely to be grounded for months, IATA says
Boeing has begun mapping out the steps to ease its 737 Max back into commercial service once regulators lift a global grounding for the company’s best-selling jetliner. The planemaker has been planning the Max’s comeback with airlines in a series of meetings from Miami to Moscow, while placing carefully tailored plans in place for suppliers, CE Dennis Muilenburg said Wednesday. He didn’t specify a timeline for the plane’s return, which will be determined by regulators. Meanwhile, the head of IATA warned of discord among global regulators and cautioned that commercial flights for the Boeing narrow-body aren’t likely to resume for at least 10 to 12 weeks. “We are preparing a meeting between regulators, the aircraft manufacturer and the operators to make an assessment of the situation,” Alexandre de Juniac said. <br/>
