FAA Says Boeing Can Once Again Sign Off On 737s, 787s Following Years-Long Safety Crisis

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will allow Boeing to resume issuing airworthiness certificates for some Boeing 737 MAX and Boeing 787 jets on alternating weeks starting on September 29. For the past few years, the FAA has revoked that authority, first for the 737 MAX in 2019 and later for the Dreamliner in 2022. This move will not improve Boeing deliveries, but it signals progress on the firm’s overarching safety and quality challenges.
