The GuardianBoeing Co on Monday said that it could have its fleet of 737 MAX jets flying again by January as safety checks on the aircraft’s troubled flight software reach completion. The airplanes were grounded in March in the wake of two fatal crashes in the space of five months that killed 346 people. The 737 MAX was a staple of many airline fleets around the world. The first, involving multiple simulator evaluation tests on the software system with the FAA, had been completed, Boeing said. Still ongoing were tests by airline and FAA pilots, a final submission to the FAA and then tests by “global regulatory pilots to validate training requirements.”
