Boeing is entering the final certification stages for its 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 aircraft. The FAA expects to approve the MAX 7 this summer. Certification for the MAX 10 is projected by the end of 2026. Successful testing of a redesigned engine anti-ice system cleared a primary regulatory obstacle.
Southwest and United Airlines are awaiting these deliveries to expand their fleets. The FAA recently authorized Boeing to increase its 737 production rate. This approval signals growing regulatory confidence in the company’s operational stability.
China committed to purchasing 200 Boeing 737 jets to bolster the company’s record backlog. This agreement marks a significant development in U.S.-China trade relations. The order reinforces the long-term investment case for the aerospace manufacturer.
