GE Aerospace boosts engine deliveries as Boeing targets more 787 output

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted final approval to the Boeing 737 MAX 10, clearing the way for the US aircraft manufacturer to begin delivering the largest version of its best-selling plane. The certification, which has been delayed since the early 2020s, is expected to boost Boeing's financial recovery following years of crises and controversies.

Airlines have placed more than 1,550 orders for the MAX 10, accounting for 31% of Boeing's outstanding 737 backlog. The plane is crucial for Boeing's competition with Airbus in the single-aisle jetliner market, with China's COMAC C919 trailing behind. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy highlighted the importance of fast aircraft certification to maintain Boeing's competitiveness.
