Boeing Co says it has completed a software update for its 737 MAX jets, which have been grounded worldwide since March after they were involved in two fatal crashes. It is unclear when the 737 MAX aircraft will return to service, but US airlines have said they hope the jets will fly this northern summer. The FAA said on Thursday that Boeing had not yet submitted its final software package for approval. On Wednesday, acting FAA Administrator Dan Elwell said he expected Boeing to make its formal submission for its software update in the next week or so. To date, Boeing has flown the 737 MAX with updated software for more than 360 hours on 207 flights, the company said.
