The production was halted for four months following two deadly crashes in less than five months, which killed all 346 people on board, with software programming problems being identified as the primary cause.
The Boeing company said on Wednesday it has resumed production of the ill-fated 737 MAX passenger jet at a low rate at its Renton plant in Washington, with plans to gradually ramp up output over the course of 2020.
Scott Stocker, the vice president of 737 Manufacturing, added that the company has taken measures to help reach 100 percent production quality and ensure workplace safety.
In December, Boeing announced that it was suspending production of the model after two 737 MAX fatal accidents — a Lion Air crash in Indonesia in October 2018, and the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March 2019 — caused the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other regulators to ground the aircraft.
