Boeing CE aims to restore Max trust

Boeing CE David Calhoun expressed confidence that the 737 MAX would eventually transport passengers again despite repeated delays in winning regulatory approval for the troubled jet. “It will fly safely,” Calhoun said Wednesday, speaking publicly for the first time since taking over the top job at the plane maker last week. “When that happens, and pilots get on that airplane and support that airplane, I believe passengers will follow.” Calhoun said the company didn’t see a risk the plane wouldn’t resume service, even as it endures heightened scrutiny by the FAA and overseas regulators. His comments come a day after Boeing said it didn’t expect US regulators to approve the return of the MAX to commercial service until midyear, at least 3 months later than many analysts and industry executives had expected. <br/>
