However, it grounded 10 Boeing 737 MAXs starting March 2019 following the plane crash in Ethiopia.
A common issue is that when a guest is about to board a plane, and finds that some important documents are left at the hotel.
He was overly optimistic about the 737 MAX's recertification, led airlines to believe the plane would return to service this year and initially mishandled hostility directed at him by family members who lost loved ones in the crashes, critics charged.
"Development of the MAX was announced in 2011, the first test flight was completed in January 2016 and the plane entered commercial service in March 2017.
Boeing knew it had to act aggressively and quickly to preserve market share, so it abandoned plans for an entirely new plane because design, testing and certification by the FAA and other regulators could take as long as 10 years.
To remain competitive, Boeing updated an existing plane, the NG.
The extra weight changed how new plane handled in the air, meaning the MAX performed differently than previous versions of the Boeing 737.
Investigators believe the plane's automated anti-stall system erroneously pointed the nose of the planes down to avoid a midair stall and into a fatal plunge.
Boeing hoped the plane would be cleared to return to service this month, but that proved unrealistic and the plane won't return to the sky until 2020, perhaps spring at the earliest.
Boeing had planned to build about 900 planes this year, including nearly 600 MAXs, the company's top-selling plane listing for about $121 million each.
"At a hearing before DeFazio's committee, FAA Administrator Steve Dickson, a former US Air Force and commercial pilot, testified, "I'm not going to sign off on this plane until I fly it myself. "
The decision, made by Boeing's board after a two-day meeting in Chicago, follows news last week that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would not approve the plane's return to service before 2020.
The 737 MAX has been grounded since March after two crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed 346 people within five months, costing the plane manufacturer more than $9 billion so far.
Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer SA, one of the largest plane makers in the world, is eyeing the fast-developing regional aviation market in China's smaller cities to further drive its growth.
The plane maker, which produces commercial aircraft with fewer than 150 seats, plans to introduce its latest and largest-ever jet, the single-aisle E195-E2, to China, its second-largest market after the United States.
Boeing had hoped the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would approve the plane's return to the sky by the end of December, but that now appears unlikely.
The 737 MAX, Boeing's top-selling plane, has been grounded since March after crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia killed all 346 passengers and crew on board.
The FAA, which has been criticized for delegating much of the initial approval process to industry officials, said it will review each new 737 MAX before recertifying the plane for commercial service.
The more stringent policy likely will delay the plane's return to the air.
Return of jet to commercial service largely delayedThe US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to individually check hundreds of new Boeing 737 MAX jets before the aircraft are delivered to customers, further delaying the plane's return to commercial service.
Boeing continued to build the plane after it was grounded worldwide last March following two crashes.
Different jurisdictions could approve the plane at different times, leading to a staggered return of the MAX to service.
It's also unclear what type of training pilots will be required to complete before the plane returns to the sky.
Boeing, facing a shortage of storage space as undelivered 737 MAX jets remain parked near one of its manufacturing plants, hopes to start delivering new planes to airlines before Dec 31 even if regulators haven't approved pilot training for the plane's updated flight control system.
If so, that would mean a staggered return of the plane, and all planes may not return to service worldwide until 2021.
Analysts estimate it will require 45 to 60 days per plane to return the jet to service, including new software installation, servicing and testing.
Previously, the airlines hoped to return the plane to service in January or February.
Prior to April, Boeing produced its top-selling plane at the rate of 52 a month.
US airlines using the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft will conduct demonstration flights with company officials on board as part of an effort to convince customers the plane is safe.
The FAA has been criticized for lax oversight in its approval of Boeing's top-selling plane.
Investigators have focused on the MAX's automated anti-stall system called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that may have erroneously pointed the nose of the plane down to gain speed to avoid a midair stall and into a fatal plunge.
"It's really important for our customers to see the plane is flying again," Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for American Airlines Group, told The Wall Street Journal.
American and United have scratched the Boeing MAX from their schedules until January, and Southwest doesn't expect the plane to return to service until February.
The union representing flight attendants for American Airlines said its 28,000 members "refuse to walk on a plane that may not be safe".
Muilenburg was questioned by the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation in Washington over what the company knew about its MCAS stall-prevention system linked to two deadly plane crashes and about delays in turning over internal 2016 messages that described erratic behavior of the software in a simulator.
Pilots at Southwest Airlines, the largest operator of the Boeing 737 MAX jet in the US, believe the plane won't return to service until February 2020, as much as two months later than the aircraft manufacturer's target.
American Airlines has canceled MAX flights through December and its pilots also seek compensation for lost pay stemming from the plane's grounding, but they have not filed a lawsuit.
Boeing has yet to submit updated software for the plane's anti-stall device to the Federal Aviation Administration for review.
Other regulators then must approve the plane, and that could mean it will return to service at different times in different jurisdictions.
Investigators believe MCAS may have erroneously pointed the nose of the plane down to gain speed to prevent a mid-air stall and into a fatal plunge.
"I can see Xiaomi smartphone users everywhere in India, whether I'm on a taxi or a plane," said Liu Yuxiang, Xiaomi's country manager of internet service for India, adding that Xiaomi has a large number of Mi fans in India, some of whom would travel all the way from south India to New Delhi to attend the brand's product launch events.
But he said the agency should approve the plane's return about a month after the test flight occurs unless something unforeseen turns up.
The FedEx cargo plane pilot arrived in Guangzhou on Sept 11, Geng added.
Regulators of each country will make their own decisions on when to resume the plane's commercial services.
Certification flights for the Boeing 737 MAX are likely to be conducted in October following approval of the software update to the plane's anti-stall device implicated in two fatal crashes, according to news reports.
It also provides general assembly services to the Chinese domestically produced jumbo plane C919.
The numbers put Boeing on course to lose the crown of world's biggest plane maker, which it has held uninterrupted for seven years.
Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said last week that the company has not suffered any order cancellations for the plane due to the grounding.
CEO Dennis Muilenburg warned that Boeing may cut or temporarily halt production of the MAX if the US Federal Aviation Administration doesn't recertify the plane in September as the company now anticipates.
