US Planemaker Regains Oversight for Key Aircraft Models
The Federal Aviation Administration has informed Congress that it will permit Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates for all 737 MAX and 787 airplanes starting next week. This move follows months of thorough data and safety review, demonstrating consistent production quality. The decision reflects the FAA’s confidence in Boeing’s ability to issue airworthiness certificates under FAA oversight. The FAA had previously revoked Boeing’s right to approve individual MAX planes in 2019 and 787 airplanes in 2022 due to production quality issues. This development was first reported by Reuters.
