The Federal Aviation Administration said late on Wednesday it is forming an international team to review the safety of the now-grounded Boeing 737 MAX that will be headed by a formal top U.S. safety official. The FAA said it is establishing a Joint Authorities Technical Review “to ensure the safety of the Boeing 737 MAX” and scrutinize an anti-stall software that’s been questioned in two fatal crashes since October. The review will be chaired by former National Transportation Safety Board chairman Christopher Hart “and comprised of a team of experts from the FAA, NASA, and international aviation authorities.”
The FAA did not immediately disclose who was taking part but a Canadian government spokeswoman said Canada would join.
