Europe brings back Boeing 737 MAX
Airlines operating in Europe, such as TUIfly or Ryanair, can fly the 737 MAX again after its grounding. But is it really needed and will passengers be willing to board? Andreas Spaeth is looking for answers.
The green light from Europe s EASA is a key step towards resolving Boeing s safety crisis after crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia which were linked to flawed cockpit software.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said Wednesday that it had cleared the Boeing 737 MAX to fly again in European skies, paving the way for a comeback of the controversial airplane, at least in theory. In practice, though, no airline seems overly keen to redeploy the former Boeing bestseller in a hurry. No carrier needs extra capacity right now. Rather, aircraft parking, deferral of deliveries or even cancellations of aircraft orders are the new normal as the pandemic hits passenger aviation hard.
