Boeing still expects MAX return to service in 2019
Boeing remains confident the 737 MAX will be cleared to fly in at least some parts of the world by year-end, even as it acknowledges that regulatory reviews of required changes are taking longer than its return to service timeline assumes. “We target regulatory approval for the 737 MAX return to service to begin this quarter,” CE Dennis Muilenburg said on the company’s Q3 earnings call Oct 23. Boeing began handing over final documentation to the FAA in September, and the “iterative ... review cycles have taken a little longer than originally planned,” he added. Among the key documents Boeing has provided are the system description for the updated 737 flight control system, which includes changes to MCAS. Boeing is still waiting on approval of final training elements that will accompany the changes. <br/>
