Boeing is close to receiving FAA approval for its 737 Max 10 model, with the agency expected to grant the approval in the coming week after completing a key safety review.
The 737 Max 10 is a larger variant of Boeing’s 737 Max flagship; Boeing had planned the first delivery in 2020 but certification was delayed by a 2023 engine anti‑ice issue. Boeing said the FAA’s safety‑first stance set the certification schedule, noting past Max 8 crashes in 2018‑19 that killed 346 and caused a global grounding. A January 2024 incident involved a cabin part detaching from a nearly new Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9, and almost 1500 Max 10 aircraft have been ordered.
