The Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) reauthorized today the operation of the aircraft model Boeing 737-8 MAX in Brazil, after a process of approximately two years. It is the second international regulator to recertify the MAX, after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the US.
ANAC withdrew the Emergency Airworthiness Directive
ANAC concluded on Wednesday “a long independent work to reauthorize the operation of the aircraft model Boeing 737-8 MAX in Brazil.” It added that the process took almost two years. “The validation of the modifications of the project was made by ANAC after the approval of the certifying authority, the FAA,” said the regulator in a statement seen by Simple Flying.
Now, ANAC is withdrawing the Emergency Airworthiness Directive that restricted the operation of MAX in Brazil. Currently, only GOL Linhas Aereas has a Boeing 737 MAX fleet in Brazil. It operates seven aircraft of this model and has a standing order of 95 more.
