Largest Narrowbody Aircraft Set For Regulatory Clearance
The Boeing 737 MAX 10 is on the verge of receiving its amended type certificate from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with Alaska Airlines anticipating approval before the end of September 2026. This final regulatory clearance will conclude a heavily delayed certification program and clear the way for mass deliveries. The aircraft has accumulated over 1,400 firm orders, representing approximately 30% of the entire 737 Max program backlog. According to Pinoy Traveller, Boeing has officially completed 100% of the Max 10 certification flight testing campaign, and the program has now transitioned entirely into the final documentation and compliance phase.
