And it&#8217;s how the interface between Boeing and the FAA is going to work in matters like that and they have to iron that out once and for all,&#8221; Wilson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s really up to Boeing at Seattle to bed in that relationship with the FAA in dealing with issues of certification and how they have to do things differently. That&#8217;s what it looks like,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryanair was initially due to take delivery of its first MAX two years ago before the jet was grounded for 20 months after two fatal crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then the airline has announced repeated delays, cutting its planned deliveries in time for use in summer 2021 from 40 to 16 to possibly zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
