The US civil aviation regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), on Wednesday rescinded its order grounding the Boeing 737 MAX single-aisle airliner. The aircraft had been grounded since March 2019, as a consequence of two fatal accidents that killed 346 people. This decision will allow US airlines, and other airlines under FAA jurisdiction, to carry out the necessary activities to bring their 737 MAXs back into service. It will also allow Boeing to resume deliveries of the airliner, of which two versions, the 737-8 and the 737-9, were in service before the grounding order. There are also smaller 737-7 and larger 737-10 versions, neither of which had entered service when the type was grounded.
