The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it expects Boeing to submit the final software fix for the 737 Max jet "over the coming weeks."
"Time is needed for additional work by Boeing as the result of an ongoing review of the 737 MAX Flight Control System to ensure that Boeing has identified and appropriately addressed all pertinent issues," the FAA said in a statement.
The agency and Boeing are under fire following two fatal crashes of its popular 737 Max jets since October. The FAA said it will conduct a "rigorous safety review" and the software that's suspected as contributing to both crashes won't be installed until its satisfied.
The review follows an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 crash last month that killed all 157 people aboard.
Boeing's stock dipped less than a percent in extended trading after closing up more than 2 percent Monday.
