Boeing says it is making "steady progress" towards safely returning its 737 Max aircraft to service.

The 737 Max has been grounded for nearly two years

Boeing's 737 Max has been beset by a series of setbacks since its launch in 2016

The 737 Max was grounded in March 2019 following two fatal crashes in five months, killing 346 people.


Efforts to get the aircraft back in the skies are ongoing in the US, Canada and Europe, with Boeing working through a "rigorous" certification and validation flight programme, and updated crew training.


This is being overseen by the US Federal Aviation Administration, Transport Canada and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
