Boeing says 737 MAX should resume commercial flights in January

Boeing said Monday that it expected US regulators to approve the return to commercial service of its grounded 737 MAX jet in the coming weeks, and its shares jumped as investors grew more hopeful the planemaker had addressed software problems at the heart of 2 fatal crashes. Boeing said it expected the FAA to issue an order approving the plane's return to service next month, but added it now expected commercial service to resume in January. Boeing shares rose 5% on the company's outlook. As recently as last week, Boeing said it expected flights could resume by the end of December. Monday, the company said it was possible that resumption of MAX deliveries to airline customers could begin in December but said getting approval for training changes would take more time. <br/>
