The Federal Aviation Administration has certified Boeing’s 737 Max 10, the largest model in the 737 family, for passenger service after years of delays. The approval clears the way for airlines to put the jet into service, and deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. Just the News reports that the approval removes the last hurdle to 1,555 orders, about a third of Boeing’s outstanding 737 Max orders, and Boeing says it has orders from more than 30 customers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the certification followed extensive safety reviews, including thousands of hours of test flights. Boeing’s Stephanie Pope said the aircraft offers more capacity and the best seat economics in its class.
