Boeing Requests 2-Year FAA Exemption Extension For 737 MAX 7 Amid Delays

Boeing has requested a two-year extension of an exemption that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had granted for the 737 MAX 7 in 2023. The exemption, related to the Flap-Slat Electronics Unit (FSEU), will expire on March 1, 2027, with the plane maker requesting another two-year extension since it cannot meet the deadlines due to certification delays of the 737 MAX 7 and 737 MAX 10.
