The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) could clear Boeings 737 MAX to fly again by late next month or early June, according to a person familiar with the safety agencys latest thinking.
If the FAA gives the green light that soon much more quickly than many analysts have predicted airlines would still need weeks to get their planes ready and their pilots trained. But the timetable, which assumes no unforeseen developments, means U.S. carriers could have the MAX flying passengers again by early August.
That anticipated fast-track timeline was confirmed by a second person close to the discussions.
And Steve Udvar-Hazy, executive chairman of Air Lease Corp. and a leading figure in the aviation world, said he has heard a similar tentative schedule in conversations with Boeing.

(5,857 posts)w/o EASA, CAA and CARC (EU, Canada & China) approval they are idiots. I'm an aviation geek, and grew up in single engine prop planes. Won't be flying it until more than just the FAA & Boeing says its safe.
