Boeing Receives FAA Certification for 737 Max 10 After Years of Delays
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has certified Boeing's 737 Max 10, the largest model in its best-selling aircraft family. The certification comes years after initial plans to launch the plane in 2020 were delayed due to safety concerns and engineering changes following two fatal crashes involving earlier versions of the 737 Max series. The FAA's approval follows a thorough review process that included addressing issues such as an anti-icing system for engines. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg highlighted that orders for this model account for about 30% of its backlog, with major airlines like Alaska Airlines and United Airlines among the customers. The certification is expected to help Boeing ramp up production at its Everett plant. Airlines can now begin incorporating these aircraft into their fleets, though it may take months before they are fully integrated into schedules.
