“The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) airworthiness directive for the 737 MAX follows a rigorous and thorough process. This level of scrutiny was justified, and the detailed process illustrates the FAA’s commitment to global aviation safety. Upon its return to commercial service, the 737 MAX will be one of the most closely examined aircraft to ever fly.
Safety remains the global aviation community’s top priority, and we are committed to continuous improvements to further strengthen aviation safety and boost confidence in air travel even further.”
