After years of delays due to safety concerns, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced the certification of the Boeing 737 Max 7 for commercial flight. The smallest model in the 737 Max line, the certification process was delayed over issues including an engine anti-icing system. Airlines are expected to begin integrating the planes into their schedules in the coming year, with Southwest Airlines set to be the first to fly them in 2027. The Boeing 737 Max 10 model remains under review. This development was reported by sources including UPI News and CNBC.
