Boeing expects 737 MAX to stay grounded through mid-year

By David Koenig, Associated Press:

Boeing doesn’t expect federal regulators to approve updates to its grounded 737 Max until this summer.

People familiar with the matter say Boeing’s timetable is based on how much work still needs to be done to get the approval. It’s several months longer than Boeing predicted late last year. And it means airlines that own Max jets will have to start another peak summer season without them.

The plane was grounded last March after crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people. Boeing is updating software, computers and pilot training for the plane.
