he Boeing 737 Max has been cleared to fly passengers again in the US, after two crashes led to the deaths of nearly 350 people.
On 29 October 2018, a single faulty sensor triggered an anti-stall system that caused Lion Air flight 610 to crash shortly after take off from Jakarta. All 189 passengers and crew died.
Less than six months later, Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 from Addis Ababa to Nairobi was lost, along with 157 lives, in similar circumstances.
In the immediate aftermath of the second fatal crash, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continued to insist the jet was safe. But after every other major safety authority worldwide grounded the plane, the American regulator followed suit.
After a rigorous redesign and certification, the Boeing 737 Max is likely to be flying passengers again in the US before the end of 2020.
