The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration next month will brief international aviation regulators on the agency’s work evaluating when the Boeing Co. 737 Max can return to service, which some countries have signaled they intend to decide on their own.
The FAA called the May 23 meeting “to provide participants the FAA’s safety analysis that will inform its decision to return the 737 Max fleet to service in the U.S. when it is made,” the agency said in a statement. Safety experts will be available to answer questions posed by the other regulators as they weigh whether to allow flights to resume in their countries, according to the FAA.
