The FAA said the Joint Operations Evaluation Board for the Boeing 737 MAX will be held at London’s Gatwick Airport and will have one during approximately nine days to review Boeing’s training proposal for 737 MAX pilots, and will include civil aviation authorities and airline crews from the United States, Canada, Brazil and the European Union.
A Boeing spokesman said the company expects to get approval from authorities to resume Max flights in the fourth quarter, although it may take longer before airlines use the aircraft again due to maintenance and pilot training requirements.
