They claimed it is “astonishing and deeply worrying” that the planes are returning to service.
A total of 346 passengers and crew died when two of the aircraft operated by Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashed in October 2018 and March 2019 respectively.
The planes were grounded around the world following the second crash, over concerns about mechanical and design problems.
But they returned to service in the US last month, and Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (Easa), told reporters earlier this week that “it will be cleared to fly again” in Europe later this month.
Relatives of the victims of the Ethiopian Airlines crash are angry that he made the comment before an official accident report is published or Easa releases a study of the aircraft’s safety.

Every camera drone in the country will have to register their devices for the first time under new regulations, or face a £1,000 fine.

FIA to take action against pilots with fake licenses
Easa restriction on PIA can only be lifted after audit, govt tells IHC
ISLAMABAD:
The government has ordered the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to start criminal proceedings against the 50 commercial pilots whose licenses were suspended after an inquiry into a plane crash in Karachi and whose licenses could not be verified.
In a written statement, the federal government told the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that 172 of the 262 pilots – whose licenses were declared dubious during an investigation into May 22 Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane crash – have been cleared after their verification.
It said licenses of 50 of the pilots have, however, been cancelled as these licenses could not be verified. The federal cabinet has also approved the summary for cancellation of these licenses.
