Boeing 737: Safety
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent updates he has had from the Civil Aviation Authority on their assessment of the safety of the Boeing 737 Max airliners.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport engages regularly with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on all aviation safety issues, including the return to service of the Boeing 737 Max. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), is primarily responsible for approving the 737 Max for use in Europe. The CAA is working with EASA, as well as the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing, so that it can continue to be satisfied with the investigation being undertaken as well as any design and operational changes that will be made.
The CAA’s safety directive preventing 737 Max operations in UK airspace will remain in place until it is satisfied that the aircraft can return to service.
