JAKARTA - Canada, on Monday, January 18, said it would lift its two-year flight ban on Boeing 737 MAX planes. The lifting of the ban will officially take place on January 20. With this decision, it means that Canada joins other countries, including the United States (US), which again allows the aircraft to fly.

Previously, two unfortunate accidents involved a Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Canada's Transport Regulator also said in a release that it had issued an eligibility directive.

The directives are addressed to aircraft owners, aircraft maintenance technicians, and foreign civil aviation authorities, along with a temporary order that outlines the requirements for airlines for additional crew training.

Separately, airline Air Canada said it would resume operating commercial Boeing 737 MAX flights from February 1. He said the aircraft would gradually return to the North American route network.

Canada hoped in December to lift its Boeing 737 MAX flight ban in January after agreeing to design changes to the plane, which was grounded from March 2019 following two unfortunate events.
