CNA – Hong Kong is permitting airline operators to restart the use of Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft in the city’s airspace, its Civil Aviation Department (CAD) recently said in a directive, lifting its ban on the aircraft after nearly three years.
The 737 MAX is integral to the Boeing’s ability to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic and a safety scandal caused by two fatal crashes.
Hong Kong had temporarily restricted use of the aircraft in 2019 following a deadly plane crash in Ethiopia that claimed a total of 157 lives.
