The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will significantly change its oversight approach to air safety by July, a U.S. transport department official said on Tuesday, following two fatal Boeing MAX 737 plane crashes. He will also say that the 737 MAX will return to service "only when the FAA's analysis of the facts and technical data indicate that it is appropriate." The MAX software is among the leading areas of focus for investigations into the two crashes. As well as FAA approval, any MAX software fixes will need a green light from governments around the world, a process that could take months. Ethiopian Airlines is a symbol of immense national pride for the country of more than 100 million people.
