Beijing: A Boeing 737 MAX took off Friday from Guangzhou for the first time since March 2019, when it was grounded after two deadly crashes.
According to tracking website Flightradar24, the China Southern Airlines flight took off in the afternoon for the city of Zhengzhou.
In March 2019, Chinese aviation authorities instructed airlines in the country to ground all their Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, citing the need for “strict control of safety risks.” The decision followed two 737 Max 8 crashes in Ethiopia in 2019 and Indonesia in 2018.
