FAA certifies Boeing 737 Max 7 for commercial service after years of delaysThe US Federal Aviation Administration has certified Boeing's 737 Max 7 for commercial service after years of delays caused by safety reviews, design changes and regulatory scrutiny following the fatal Max 8 crashes. Certification of the Boeing 737 Max 7 represents a milestone in the company’s efforts to overcome years of safety, quality and production challenges. The long-delayed Max 7 is part of Boeing’s 737 family of commercial jets, the company’s bestselling aircraft series, which has been at the centre of its troubles. Since the crashes off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia, the FAA has overhauled how it certifies Boeing aircraft. “Our team of dedicated engineers and test experts worked through challenges, an extended pandemic, and the transition to new certification processes,” said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
