US invites world’s aviation regulators to meeting on Boeing’s 737 MAX 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseFacing criticism that it is too close to Boeing, the Federal Aviation Administration has invited global regulators to a meeting on the Boeing 737 MAX next month as it works to restore confidence following two deadly crashes. The forum, scheduled for May 23 in Washington, aims to outline for civilian aviation regulators the US agency’s process for returning the 737 MAX to service, an FAA spokesman said Thursday. After submitting a request for formal certification, Boeing expects to conduct a certification flight with the FAA and then to seek approval from international regulators. “They want the 737 MAX to return in a synchronized manner,” Merluzeau told AFP in an interview.
