Boeing 737 Max to be operated most of the world except one country

Boeing will 'very shortly' increase 737 MAX manufacturing to 38 per month.

boeing 737 max operated most world except one country : The aircraft was grounded worldwide on 13 March, 2019, after two crashes, one in Indonesia and the other in Ethiopia which killed a combined total of 346 innocent people. These back to back crashes within five months led to banned passengers from flying. Apart from the human tragedy, it was huge blow to Boeing’s business, since the company has thousands of 737 Max ordered on its books. After two years approval was given by FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) in November 2020 for the grounded aircraft to take the skies again. This action saw a number of other countries follow suit with regulators in Aviation safety agencies in the US, Brazil, Canada, Australia, the UK, the European Union and the UAE giving the go ahead for take off. This isn’t the case in China yet, the world’s second-largest market for commercial air traffic, is still prohibiting the plane from flying, however, and it hasn’t indicated when it’ll reverse course.

Airlines are now slowly adding 737 Max back into their schedules. Two years ago, Southwest Airlines was the biggest operator of the MAX, with 41 of the aircraft in their fleet, with recent confirmation by Southwest this week that their intention is to restart MAX operation this month on multiple routes across their network.
