SEATTLE/CHICAGO/TRURO, Mass. - A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced a bill on Tuesday to reform aircraft certification following two fatal Boeing Co 737 MAX crashes, lawmakers said in a statement.
The measure seeks to eliminate the ability of aircraft makers like Boeing to unduly influence the certification process. It marks the most significant step toward reforms following the 2018 and 2019 crashes, which sparked calls to change how the Federal Aviation Administration approves new airplanes.
“Safety is paramount,” said Cantwell, of Washington state, where Boeing manufactures most of its aircraft. “A primary goal of this legislation is to make sure the FAA remains in the driver’s seat when it comes to certification.” Boeing has struggled to win regulatory approvals to resume commercial service of its money-spinning 737 MAX since the plane was grounded worldwide in March 2019, plunging the Chicago-based company into a crisis compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.Boeing and the FAA both declined to comment.
