Abstract:

In March 2019, the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, a newly designed aircraft from a highly respected manufacturer, was grounded after being implicated in two fatal accidents. After 20 months, the aircraft is now approved by the US regulator for commercial operations and has seen its first commercial flights. Paul Hampton and Dewi Daniels provides an update on events based on recent developments and ask if the aircraft is really safe to fly again.
