FAA restores Boeing’s authority to self-certify 737 MAX and 787 airworthiness as MAX 7/10 certification expected soon

The FAA says Boeing can resume issuing airworthiness certificates for new aircraft, reclaiming self-certification authority for Boeing employees next week. Separately, the agency expects to certify the 737 MAX 7 and larger 737 MAX 10 soon after an intensive review. A separate US appeals court decertified a shareholder class action related to the MAX 9 Alaska Airlines blowout.

  • The FAA’s stated expectation to certify the 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 “soon” is a forward-looking signal for fleet planning and order/production timing.
  • The US appeals court’s decertification of a shareholder class action tied to the MAX 9 cabin blowout reshapes litigation risk exposure for Boeing while safety-related scrutiny remains central.
