Regulators Clash Over 737 Max Return

By Aparejita Dutta, Zacks From Yahoo News

Constant conflict between Boeing BA and international air-safety authorities has been threatening the return of the jet behemoth’s 737 Max fleet to service. The latest discord between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regarding the re-certification of this fleet has compounded its woes.

Notably, EASA declared that it will determine whether 737 Max is fit for flying, which reflects its lack of confidence in FAA’s decision. With the holiday season approaching, such discrepancy between the two major global regulators may further delay 737’s return. This also poses a risk for airline stocks, which are already bearing the brunt of the grounding of Boeing’s best-selling airliner since March.

Reason Behind the Conflict

Per media sources, a briefing by Boeing this August was cut short, with regulators from the United States, Europe, Brazil and elsewhere complaining about the jet maker’s failure to provide technical details and answer specific questions about modifications in the operation of MAX flight-control computers. Specifically, these regulators demanded that Boeing resubmitted briefing documents, describing proposed software changes, which will then be vetted by the FAA.

However, per a recent release, EASA, which is conducting its own independent review of the grounded 737 Max, has listed a few requirements, which are much more stringent than those of its U.S. counterpart. Now, if FAA clears 737 Max for flight and EASA delays the same, then the aircraft will be allowed only for domestic flights within the United States. In that case, U.S. airlines operating internationally as well as international airlines that operate 737 Max will continue to suffer.  

In fact, per a Reuters report, other international regulators have also indicated that they will conduct their own analysis of 737 MAX and Boeing’s proposed updates, after the FAA’s credibility took a hit following 737 MAX crashes.
