    PLANE-MAKER Boeing still expects to deliver the first Boeing 737 Max aircraft to launch customer Malindo Air in May even after it was forced to suspend test flights amid issues with the Leap 1B engine.

    The US Federal Aviation Administration now has to reapprove the engines on the 737 Max before it can take flight again, Reuters reported.
