A laila, ma hope o ka hōʻoia hou ʻana o ka Boeing 737 MAX e ka FAA (Federal Aviation Administration, United States) a me ANAC (National Agency Civil Aviation Administration, Brazil), hilinaʻi piha mākou i ka hoʻi ʻana o MAX i ka lawelawe, ”i hoʻohui ʻia ʻo Celso.

Ma mua o ka hoʻopili hou ʻana i ka MAX-8 i kāna mau ʻauwaʻa, ua alakaʻi ʻo GOL i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana no 140 o kona mau pailaka me Boeing, e hālāwai ana me nā koi ʻenehana a me nā hana i hōʻike ʻia i loko o ka papahana i ʻae ʻia e FAA a me ANAC.

ʻO kā ka ʻoihana ʻike a me nā kumuwaiwai no ka mālama ʻana i nā mokulele Boeing i hāʻawi pū i ka hiki ke hoʻi wikiwiki a palekana hoʻi i ka MAX i kāna pūnaewele. Ua kūpono ʻo GOL Aerotech e hana i ka mālama ʻana ma Boeing 737 Next Generation, 737 Classic, 737 MAX a me nā mokulele ʻohana Boeing 767.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

These Safety actions reinforced the meticulous work of removing the MAX-8 aircraft from storage by the aviation engineers at GOL Aerotech, the Company’s business unit specialized in maintenance, repairs, aircraft servicing and components, based in Confins near the city of Belo Horizonte in southeast Brazil and where the aircraft were located for the past 20 months.
Advanced technology used in the engines, wings and command surfaces of the 737 MAX increase productivity by 24%, reduce fuel consumption by approximately 15%, and enable the aircraft to have a range of around 1,000 kilometers more (up to 6,500 km) compared with the current 737 NG aircraft.
“Over the past 20 months, we have watched the most comprehensive safety review in the history of commercial aviation unfold, bringing together regulatory agencies and airlines from around the world to monitor and contribute to the upgrades in aircraft systems and pilot training.
