Brazil has followed the US by ungrounding the Boeing 737 Max.
Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) gave the go-ahead a week after the FAA lifted the 20-month grounding of the aircraft.
ANAC said it issued the same airworthiness directive, allowing the plane to resume operations under the same conditions, said Superintendent of Airworthiness, Roberto José Honorato.
Gol is the only airline currently in Brazil that operates the aircraft and it said it may restart Max flights before the end of 2020.
It will start implementing the required measures, which includes a comprehensive pilot retraining program, ahead of a return to service.
Canada is expected to lift its ban on the Max soon, and Europe has outlined measures airlines must take to restart Max flights.
These differ slightly to those issued by the US and Brazil, including a temporary restriction on autopilot use.
"Boeing worked closely with the FAA and ANAC to meet their expectations to safely return the 737 MAX to commercial service in Brazil," said Boeing CEO David Calhoun.
