Following almost a decade of extensive review, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued an amended type certificate and updated Production Limitation Record for the Boeing 737 MAX-7.
It is recalled that following the crash of two Boeing Max aircrafts operated by Ethiopia Airlines and Indonesia’s Lion Air, the company has been under pressure.
The Boeing 737 MAX passenger airliner was grounded worldwide between March 2019 and December 2020 after 346 people died in two similar crashes in less than five months, and briefly in January 2024 following a dangerous in-flight incident.
Like other 737 MAX jets, the 737-7 reduces fuel use and CO2 emissions by 20% and noise footprint by 50% compared to the airplanes it typically replaces.
The other 737 MAX family members offer other unique capabilities:The 737-8 seats 160-180 passengers with a range of up to 3,500 nautical miles (6,480 km).
