The US government is ordering a review into the certification process which allowed Boeing’s 737 Max to fly for several international airlines.
Questions have been raised as to time taken by the American Federal Aviation Administration to ground the planes, after a failure in the anti-stall system caused two separate crashes, killing 346 people.
The EU and Canada’s aviation safety agencies, which typically follow the American Administration’s advice, have promised their own investigations, assuring the EU parliament committee “[the agency] will not allow the aircraft to fly if we have not found acceptable answers to all our questions."
