As long as these conditions are met, we\u2019re happy to see the MAX return to service in China,\u201d said Feng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut if these conditions cannot be met, we still have to carry out strict airworthiness certification in order to ensure safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feng said the CAAC had maintained communications with the FAA, EASA, and Boeing over the MAX and that he had held two meetings with Boeing\u2019s president on its return to service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 737 MAX, which has been grounded around the world since March 2019, is expected receive regulatory approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to resume flying in November and enter service by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has not publicly disclosed a timeline for the MAX\u2019s return of service, but sources familiar with the matter have told Reuters it is expected to lift its grounding order around mid-November, although the date could slip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled
