- The agency will issue a bulletin describing how to recognize and respond to the glitch, and it expects to grant final certification to the MAX 10 later this month.
- The certification will allow airlines such as United, Ryanair, Alaska, American and Delta to add the MAX 10 to their fleets once approved.
