Boeing may apply for special permits to flight-test modifications and operate production flight-test and ferry flights of newly assembled 737 Max aircraft in U.S. airspace during the as-yet-indefinite worldwide commercial-flight ban affecting all 737 Max-family jets, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration confirmed Thursday.
