FAA approves Boeing 737 Max 10; deliveries expected in 2027
The FAA certified Boeing's 737 Max 10 for passenger service on Tuesday, and France 24 reports deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
The Federal Aviation Administration approved the Boeing 737 Max 10 for passenger service on Tuesday, France 24 reports. The Max 10 is the largest version of Boeing's most popular plane. France 24 says deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
France 24 calls it final approval. It says the certification comes more than five years after the jet's first flight and nearly a decade after the program's delays began. NPR says it comes nearly a decade after Boeing unveiled the plane.
CNBC reports the Max 10 was set to start flying in 2020. It says increased scrutiny and other safety issues delayed certification.
PBS NewsHour says the jet is designed to carry more people while using less fuel, which it says appeals to airlines facing high jet fuel costs.
France 24 says the approval is a boost for Boeing, which it says has been trying to recover from a safety and management crisis.
