FAA certificates Boeing’s 737 Max 7

The Federal Aviation Administration has completed its certification process, issuing an amended type certificate for Boeing's 737 Max 7 aircraft. This approval concludes a protracted multi-year delay that impacted airline customers significantly. The agency attributed the lengthy timeline to design changes and increased regulatory scrutiny surrounding the narrowbody aircraft family. Specifically, the smallest variant of the 737 Max received this updated certification from the FAA. This marks the end of yearslong review by the agency.
