Boeing and the FAA are taking an unusual tack to get the 737 MAX in the air again. They are seeking international validation.
Boeing Co. and U.S. aviation regulators will be seeking what amounts to an international stamp of approval around the time they roll out a safety fix for 737 MAX jets, expected this summer.
The strategy stems from a recognition by Boeing’s management and agency leaders that an impartial, outside group’s endorsement is essential to restore trust in the planes, according to industry and government officials briefed on the details of the plan.
