Boeing wins FAA approval for 737 Max 10 after years of delays
The approval clears the way for airlines to add the largest 737 Max model after safety reviews and engineering changes slowed certification.
- The Federal Aviation Administration signed off on the Boeing 737 Max 10 on Tuesday, marking the final jet in the best-selling family to receive government approval after years of delays.
- Increased scrutiny following Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 delayed certification, while engineering changes to engine anti-icing systems and a navigation system glitch also required federal review.
- CEO Kelly Ortberg said at a Morgan Stanley conference on Sept. 16 that orders make up about 30% of Boeing's backlog, as the manufacturer ramps up production of Maxes and Dreamliners in Everett, Washington.
- Alaska Airlines plans lie-flat seats on some Max 10s, though United CEO Scott Kirby noted seats intended for the aircraft remain in storage, while American Airlines and Delta Air Lines await deliveries.
- Airlines can soon begin flying passengers, though carriers require months to adjust schedules. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford stated, "We will continue to hold Boeing to the highest safety standards.
