VICTIMS’ FAMILIES URGE EUROPE TO HOLD OFF ON LIFTING BAN

-

Relatives of Boeing Co. 737 MAX crash victims on Tuesday urged the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to delay approving the aircraft's return to service, saying there are too many unanswered questions about its safety. Last month, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administra­tion cleared the jet following design changes around systems involved in two crashes in 2018 and 2019, sparking a global grounding and safety reviews. EASA has said it could formally lift its own ban next month, once public and industry feedback on its conditions for putting the jet back into service have been studied.
