Boeing is set to begin a week of flight safety tests in a bid to get its 737 Max back into the skies, after the plane was grounded following two fatal crashes. Now, the Boeing 737 Max is set to begin a series of flight safety tests near Boeing's manufacturing base in Seattle, the BBC reported. In this week's flight safety tests, a 737 Max kitted out with test equipment will run a series of scripted mid-air scenarios at Boeing Field near Seattle. After the flight safety tests, FAA officials in Washington and Seattle will analyse the data to access if the jet is airworthy. Norwegian Air, TUI, and Icelandair are among airlines that use the 737 Max in Europe, while others have the aircraft on order.
