HELSINKI: Boeing's grounded 737 MAX airliner is likely to return to service in Europe during the first quarter of 2020, the head of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency said on Monday.
Boeing has said it aims to return the 737 MAX to service by the end of 2019 after making software changes in the wake of two deadly crashes, which killed 346 people and led the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to ground the plane in March. The FAA has primary responsibility for vetting a Boeing-designed fix to avoid situations in which data from a single faulty airflow sensor can cause the flight software to send the plane into a dive. Instead, the so-called MCAS software will monitor data from a pair of the sensors.EASA also plans to carry out its own program of checks including simulator and flight tests, before allowing flights to resume in Europe.
"There has been a lot of work done on the design of the software," Ky said. But he added:"We think there is still some work to be done."
