(Reuters) – The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said on Thursday it plans to begin flight tests of U.S. planemaker Boeing Co’s 737 MAX plane in Vancouver, Canada, in the week starting Sept. 7.

The test flights will start more than two months after the U.S. regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Boeing completed certification test flights on the 737 MAX, a move viewed as a key milestone toward its return to service.
