FAA greenlights end-of-line airworthiness certificates for Boeing 737 MAX and 787; certification staffing rises while Boeing del
The FAA has approved Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates at the end of the production process for all 737 MAX and B787 aircraft, effective July 20, 2026. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford also cited a 35%–40% increase in resources for Boeing airplane oversight as Boeing separately signals no new jet program before 2030—while early 777X units face scrutiny from customers.
