No timeline for Boeing 737 MAX return to service -FAA official
None
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has no specific timeline for the return to service of Boeing Co's 737 MAX, which has been grounded following two deadly crashes, the agency's acting administrator said on Thursday.
Acting Administrator Dan Elwell, speaking to reporters at an event in Wisconsin, said the timeline would be driven by one criteria: safety.
Elwell's comments came a day after Boeing Chief Executive Dennis Muilenburg told analysts on a conference call he was confident the MAX would be back in service as early as October, after a certification flight with regulators in September.
