Report: European regulator says Boeing 737 Max safe to fly

The head of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency says he is satisfied that the Boeing Co. has made the 737 Max safe to fly again.

According to a report from Bloomberg, EASA is reviewing final documentation for an airworthiness directive next month that will be followed by a four-week public comment period.

Barring any setbacks, that could pave the way for the grounded jet to return to the sky in Europe before the end of the year.

“Our analysis is showing that this is safe, and the level of safety reached is high enough for us,” EASA Executive Director Patrick Ky said in the report.

Last I checked they had none of those death traps. I will never fly on one.

Airbus did not cheap out and designed and built new planes for efficiency. They are nice planes. I’ve flown on several of them.

Delta, looking to cut cost for their stockholders and executives tried to turn a plane from the 70’s into a modern airplane. The results were predictable.
