Boeing said it would resume manufacturing the troubled 737 Max airplane after a nearly five-month hiatus. The aerospace company said it would restart production “at a low rate as it implements more than a dozen initiatives focused on enhancing workplace safety and product quality.”<\/p>\n

The Boeing 737 Max has been grounded since March 2018 following two fatal crashes that killed a total of 346 passengers and crew members<\/a>. Boeing continued to manufacture the airplane, but in December 2019, the company announced plans to halt production<\/a> at its Renton, Washington manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

The FAA has yet to clear the airplane to return to passenger service. Investigators have discovered numerous software glitches<\/a>, apart from the MCAS flight control system that has been identified as the cause of the fatal crashes.<\/p>\n
