FAA clears the way for airlines to put Boeing's long-delayed 737 Max 10 into service
Nearly a decade after Boeing unveiled its largest 737 Max jet, the company has cleared a major hurdle in its effort to bring the plane to airlines.
The Federal Aviation Administration has approved Boeing’s 737 Max 10 airliner for passenger service following years of delays, according to PBS NewsHour. The largest version of the 737 family is now cleared for sale to both domestic and foreign carriers. NPR reports that this development comes nearly a decade after Boeing first unveiled the jet.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that the aircraft was approved following extensive safety reviews, including thousands of hours of test flights. PBS NewsHour noted that the certification serves as a milestone for Boeing as the company attempts to restore its financial footing and reputation amid production and safety challenges. For airlines, the aircraft provides a way to carry more passengers per flight to potentially lower costs per seat.
