737 MAX faced two fatal crashes, worldwide grounding, and regulatory scrutiny from 2017 to 2023.

Boeing's 737 MAX has faced multiple challenges since its introduction in 2017, including two fatal crashes in 2019, global grounding, and software issues. Key moments in the plane's history include the 737 MAX 8's certification in 2018, fatal accidents in 2019, worldwide grounding in 2019, Boeing suspending deliveries in 2019, and the FAA clearing the 737 MAX for service resumption in November 2020. The plane faced further scrutiny and safety concerns in 2021 and 2023, with an emergency landing due to a fuselage panel blowing out. Boeing's CEO has changed several times during this period, and the company has faced legal consequences and regulatory scrutiny.
