FAA orders Boeing to halt further Max production increases amid blowout
US aviation regulators ordered Boeing Co. to halt further production-rate increases for its 737 Max aircraft even as they cleared the way for a version of the jet involved in a near-calamity to return to the skies.
The US Federal Aviation Administration said it informed Boeing that the agency wouldn’t allow any further output increases, according to a statement late Wednesday. At the same time, it approved the inspection procedures that airlines must carry out in order for the 737 Max to resume flights after they were grounded by the agency earlier this month.
