New York: Boeing has resumed production of the 737 Max at a “low” rate following two deadly crashes that led to the aircraft’s global grounding by regulators, the company said Wednesday.

The jet hasn’t flown commercially since March 2019 and is still a number of key steps away from being cleared for service by the US Federal Aviation Administration and other regulators.
