ABU DHABI — The United Arab Emirates announced that it is currently considering the return of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft to its airspace. Saif Mohammed Al-Suwaidi, Director-General of the General Civil Aviation Authority, said that the civil aviation regulator is also closely cooperating with the US Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing, and UAE national carriers to manage the return of the aircraft to airspace, state news agency WAM reported. He noted that it is holding discussions with the FAA and Boeing about the aircraft’s licensing requirements, including its flight testing, design and crew training. He pointed out that the GCAA is coordinating with civil aviation authorities from other countries to exchange information and benefit from their experiments regarding the return of B737 Max to the UAE"s airspace, stressing that the UAE’s approval depends on ongoing trials conducted by the FAA and Boeing. Al-Suwaidi highlighted the GCAA’s commitment to ensuring the highest safety standards in the UAE’s airspace, noting that the aircraft will only return after meeting every safety requirement. The UAE’s announcement coincides with the US government report, which is scheduled to be made public on Wednesday but seen by Reuters, claims the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer failed to submit certification documents to the detailing changes to a key flight control system faulted in two fatal crashes. The flight control system, known as MCAS, was “not an area of emphasis” because Boeing presented it to the FAA as a modification of the jet’s existing speed trim system, with limited range and use, according to the report. The report, according to Reuters, laid bare mistakes made by both the planemaker and FAA in the development and certification of Boeing’s top-selling aircraft.
