Malaysia lifts two year-plus ban on Boeing 737 MAX

The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) has lifted a ban on operating Boeing’s 737 MAX passenger jet after more than two years, it said in a statement on Thursday. Malaysia suspended the aircraft in March 2019 after it was grounded worldwide following two deadly crashes. CAAM lifted the suspension as it released a new safety directive applicable to Malaysian and foreign air operators on Thursday. On the 737 MAX, the regulator said it had been closely monitoring the approval process and extensive work undertaken, particularly from Boeing and the US FAA, and accepted the comprehensive return-to-service requirements set by the FAA for the plane. <br/>
