Boeing Co. has begun mapping out the steps to ease its 737 Max back into commercial service once regulators lift a global grounding for the company’s best-selling jetliner.
The planemaker has been planning the Max’s comeback with airlines in a series of meetings from Miami to Moscow, while placing carefully tailored plans in place for suppliers, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg said Wednesday. He didn’t specify a timeline for the plane’s return, which will be determined by regulators.
