EASA has spelled out its requirements for allowing the Boeing 737 Max to return to service, indicating that it may lift its grounding in mid-January. Less than a week after FAA gave Boeing the go-ahead to return the narrowbody to service, the European agency late on Tuesday published a proposed airworthiness directive (AD), inviting industry comment by December 20. This stage will be followed by a review process before a final AD is published.
