Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), told an EU parliament committee hearing: "We will not allow the aircraft to fly if we have not found acceptable answers to all our questions."

Canada said it would conduct an "exhaustive review" of the 737 Max's flight control system, known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), Reuters reported.

It also said it would independently certify the Boeing 737 Max rather than solely accept FAA reports in the future. The country said it will send a team to help US authorities evaluate design changes if needed.

The Associated Press reported, referring to EU and Canadian plans to carry out their own probes: "Those reviews scramble an ambitious schedule set by Boeing and could undercut the FAA's reputation around the world."

2. But just to ask Germany first was a

slap in the face to trump. I actually laughed when I heard they did that.
