We welcome EASA and the UK CAA’s decision to recertify the Boeing 737 MAX following extensive and rigorous testing of the aircraft carried out by the regulators.
The recertification in Europe and the UK follows approval by the FAA late last year which has since seen a number of airlines in the US, Canada, Central and South America resume operations with the MAX.
Following the approval by EASA and UK CAA, we can be confident that everything is now in place to ensure a safe and successful return to service. We now move to the final stages of implementing all of the regulators’ updates and improvements to our MAX fleet, as well as pilot retraining. Only once this is complete will we begin to return the MAX to service across the TUI network.
As a result of the current travel restrictions in place due to COVID we are reviewing our holiday and aviation plans in line with government advice. We will keep our customers informed as we prepare for the aircraft’s return to the skies and look forward to welcoming them onboard again soon.
