By Joshua Stein

Boeing Co.'s 737 MAX airplane will receive final clearance to resume flights in Europe next week, according to the EU body responsible for aviation safety.

The plane will be allowed to fly pending additional pilot training and maintenance which individual airlines are responsible for, a spokesperson for the European Union Aviation Safety Agency told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.

The agency, also known as EASA, will also publish the airworthiness directive for the aircraft class next week, it said.
