Four of the world’s leading aircraft regulators have reached a tentative agreement to coordinate in restoring Boeing’s 737 Max to service. European Union, Canada and Brazil would act on a similar timeline as FAA.

The Belgian CAA is not overoptimistic about MAX's resurrection :

TUI's birds will have square tyres by then.
Seriously, the prolonged storage in open air, Belgian air, may have its toll on several systems if they are not operated "once in a while".

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
Boeing 737 MAX fleet is expected to stay grounded until late 2019 as a result of the latest flight-control problem flagged by the FAA.
Boeing to face class action lawsuit on behalf of more than 400 pilots from a major international airline claiming compensatory damages from the grounding of the B737 MAX fleet.
Turkish Airlines removed all B737 MAX flights from its schedule listing effective 27 October 2019.

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
I wonder if Boeing provides or pays for replacement planes for concerned airlines. Working for a car manufacturer, in such cases, we provide free replacement cars of approx the same size, whatever the cost. But I can imagine this would cost Boeing billions... Anybody knows what they offer ?
Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
Boeing is discussing compensations with its customers on a case-by-case basis. It could, for example, be a discount on the price of future purchases. They try to avoid cash compensations.N77014 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2019, 11:56 I wonder if Boeing provides or pays for replacement planes for concerned airlines.

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
We do not provide cash compensations neither, but try to find a mobility solution for our customers so that they can keep driving and getting from A to B. Boeing could do that as well, but this might cost a fortune, seen the number of planes and duration... But so e.g. TUI pays for the lease of those Max planes + has to charter other planes and pay for them ??? That means Boeing - due to their quality concerns - drives many companies to huge losses ? I would say, unacceptable ! ( but who am I

I guess this interview was made before the latest problem discovered last week that will delay the re-entry into service of the 737 MAX even more, probably until the end of the year. And also before the NOTAM of the BCAA banning the 737 MAX in Belgian airwpace until year end. I wonder if that might have changed Hofman's opinion. Of course, he has to endorse the decisions made by his company to keep their confidence in the aircraft.

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
A Norwegian Sweden (DY/NAS - LE/NSW) Boeing 737 MAX with reg SE-RTC, flew yesterday 29JUN out of Gran Canaria and headed back home to OSL.
She left GCLP/LPA in the morning and first flew to LEMG/AGP Malaga. After a 1-hour refueling stop she took off again for Oslo, landing there at 19:17Z
Limited altitude (Max FL200) and IAS (max 240 kts) seem to indicate the crew was prepared to pull out some flaps in case the MCAS got wild. Probably also a prerequisite for the flight plan to be accepted, flying over populated areas.
Wishing SE-RTC a good retirement in Norway.

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
Well, André Berger, the TUI Director of Operations, just tweeted that "de notam zal onmiddellijk worden ingetrokken als de MAX opnieuw gecertificeerd is. De datum in de notam zegt niets over de termijn dat de 737Max terug commercieel zal mogen vliegen. Dat laatste weten we nog niet."Homo Aeroportus wrote: ↑28 Jun 2019, 20:56 The Belgian CAA is not overoptimistic about MAX's resurrection :

Which, in the universal aviation language, translates to "the NOTAM will be withdrawn immediately if the MAX is re-certified. The date in the NOTAM says nothing about the date when the 737Max will be allowed to fly back commercially. We do not yet know the latter."

Re: Boeing 737 (MAX) news
Delta, the only major airline without a 737 MAX, had a VERY good quarter!
American announced that, for the first time, it is suspending one route (Dallas Fort Worth to Oakland, California) because of the grounding if its 737 MAXs.
Southwest Airlines expects it will have to remove the grounded B737 MAX jets from its flying schedule beyond the current 01 October 2019 re-entry date following the discovery of a fresh safety issue.
SpiceJet will lease more B737 NGs and continue to expand capacity as the B737 MAX remains grounded.

Unconfirmed story, but from a reliable source:
"...EASA has outlined five major requirements it wants Boeing to address before it will allow the 737 MAX to return to service, according to a person familiar with the matter. One of them, about the jet’s autopilot function, hasn’t surfaced previously as an area of concern..."
