U.S. aviation regulators are calling for a meeting with their counterparts from about 50 other countries to discuss progress on returning Boeing Co.’s grounded 737 Max to service as some nations have begun saying they will perform independent assessments of the plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday sent a letter to regulators around the world asking them to an “informal briefing” in Montreal on Monday. Boeing is in the process of redesigning the 737 Max to fix a design flaw that caused it to dive automatically. The FAA and other nations must approve the changes before it can fly again.
