In the airworthiness directive, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said Boeing had addressed the design and the "unsafe conditions" of the planes.
China said Boeing's 737 MAX planes were airworthy after taking "corrective actions" to improve their safety, according to an aviation authority directive seen by AFP Thursday, following the aeroplanes being grounded in 2019 after two fatal accidents.
Beijing was the first among a slew of countries to ground Boeing planes after an Ethiopian Airlines crash in March 2019 killed all 157 passengers and crew on board, only five months after another Boeing jet went down in Indonesia, killing all 189 people on board.
But a Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) document -- seen by AFP -- concluded that "after conducting the sufficient assessment, CAAC considers the corrective actions are adequate to address this unsafe condition."
In the airworthiness directive, the CAAC said Boeing had addressed the design and the "unsafe conditions" of the planes.
