Airplane manufacturer: US aviation authority approves Boeing 737 MAX 10

The US aviation authority FAA has granted final certification to the Boeing 737 MAX 10, following delays. The certification clears the way for delivery of the largest version of the best-selling aircraft, which is set to begin in the coming months. Boeing's commercial aircraft division chief, Stephanie Pope, said the MAX 10 offers greater capacity, range, and economy per seat in its class.

US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was to mark the certification with a visit to Boeing's Everett, Washington plant, where a new production line was opened in July. Over 1550 MAX 10 aircraft have been ordered by airlines including United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Ryanair, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines.
