All versions of the 737 MAX were grounded worldwide after two planes crashed.
European regulators would need to give their own approval at a later date, with pilots also having to undergo re-training before 737 MAX commercial operations could resume within European airspace."We know that the process of approving the 737 MAX's return to service, and of determining appropriate training requirements, must be extraordinarily thorough and robust, to ensure that our regulators, customers, and the flying public have confidence in the 737 MAX updates.
"As a result of this ongoing evaluation, we have decided to prioritise the delivery of stored aircraft and temporarily suspend production on the 737 program beginning next month."Boeing has continued to produce 737 MAX jets at around 42 per month, while also purchasing parts from suppliers at a rate of up to 52 units per month. Deliveries have been frozen until regulators approve the aircraft to fly commercially again.
