China Eastern lists steps needed to return 737 Max to skies

SHANGHAI: China Eastern Airlines Corp has outlined several actions it needs to undertake before operating Boeing Co’s 737 Max again, including modifications to the aircraft and further pilot training, dampening hopes the narrowbody will return to Chinese skies any time soon.

Li Yangmin, vice-chairman of the Shanghai-based state-owned carrier, indicated to investors at a virtual briefing Friday that the airline is yet to start work on returning the Max to commercial service.
