WASHINGTON—The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said April 25 it is inviting top civil aviation officials from around the world to a May 23 meeting to discuss the now-grounded Boeing 737 MAX.

The aircraft has been involved in two deadly crashes since October. The FAA said the meeting “is intended to provide participants the FAA’s safety analysis that will inform its decision to return the 737 MAX fleet to service in the U.S. when it is made.”
