UAE's flydubai to have all 14 737 MAX jets in service by June
United Arab Emirates’ flydubai expects to have all of its 14 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft back in service by the first week of June, the airline’s head of maintenance said on Tuesday. Resuming 737 MAX flights this Thursday with a service to Sialkot in Pakistan, the airline has cleared five of those jets to return to service after a two-year grounding. “You can rest assured we have every confidence in this aircraft,” Head of Maintenance Andrew Glover said. Regulators worldwide grounded the 737 in March 2019 after two fatal crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed a total of 346 people onboard. The UAE aviation regulator lifted the ban in February after the US FAA set out the return to service requirements.<br/>
