Saudi Gazette report
RIYADH Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority has approved the return of Boeing 737 MAX to service in its airspace, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported late Sunday.
In a statement carried by SPA, the General Authority of Civil Aviation said that the Boeing 737 MAX plane will be allowed to return to service from and to Saudi Arabia, after completing the necessary review, taking necessary measures and completing all necessary tests by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the European Aviation Safety Agency and other civil aviation authorities around the world.
MIAMI – The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of Saudi Arabia has cleared the way for the Boeing 737 MAX to return to operations in the kingdom, after a ban of nearly two years.
Late on Sunday evening, the authority reported that the decision to lift the ban came after close cooperation with the International civil aviation community on reforms, licenses, and training to guarantee the highest standard of safety. The civil authority also published a Navigational Notice (NOTAM) that allows the MAX to resume service.
Clearance from GACA makes it possible to operate flights to the main Saudi market for UAE’s Flydubai (FZ), who are the second-largest 737 MAX customer in the world. The recovery of Flydubai will be significantly improving with more fuel efficient MAX short-haul routes such as UAE-Saudi.
