Boeing 737 Max: Indonesia lifts ban after 2018 Lion Air crash

Three years after the Lion Air disaster, Indonesia has lifted a ban on the Boeing Max.

The best-selling plane in the world was grounded after the fatal crash of the Ethiopian Airlines plane.

The airline said it will resume the flights in February.

The aircraft returned to service in the US and Europe.

Australia, Japan, India, Malaysia, and Singapore are lifting their bans on the use of the MAX.

The lifting of the ban will be effective immediately, and follows the checks made to the aircraft's systems, according to the transport ministry.

The ministry said that airlines have to follow airworthiness directives and inspect their planes before they can fly the MAX again.

Lion Air did not respond to a request for comment from the BBC.

The plane will not be reintroduced to the fleet as the carrier focuses on debt restructuring.

The state-controlled firm, which only operated one plane before the plane was grounded, wants to cut its fleet of aircraft from 142 to 66.

All 189 passengers and crew were killed when Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea 13 minutes after taking off from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

After leaving Ethiopia's capital, the plane crashed six minutes later, killing all 157 people on board.

"We have taken enough time to make sure that our pilots, engineers, aircraft technicians, cabin crew are confident in the safety of the fleet," Tewolde said in a statement.
