A Chinese airline has resumed commercial flights on Boeing 737-800 jets, the same model that crashed last month killing all 132 passengers and crew members on board, The Hill reported on Sunday (local time).
In a statement on Sunday, China Eastern Airlines (CEA) said that it has conducted numerous systematic tests to resume commercial flights on the Boeing model.
Last month, a China Eastern Airlines plane with 132 people on board crashed in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Flight MU5735, with 132 people aboard, was enroute from the southwestern city of Kunming to Guangzhou on March 21 when it plunged from cruising altitude and crashed.
