The Emirates airline president Tim Clark dropped a big hint at the recent IATA meeting: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-a...-idUSKCN1T301Z
Clark warned it could take six months to restore operations as other regulators re-examine the U.S. delegation practices - though U.S. majors have only suspended MAX schedules to August.

“That is why it is going to take time to get this aircraft back in the air. If it is in the air by Christmas I’ll be surprised - my own view,” he told reporters.
