FAA to leave Boeing to sign 737 Maxes, 787

Boeing Can sign on some of its 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner planes before being given to customers, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday, the last sign that the manufacturer takes up the confidence of his regulator after years of security crises.

The FAA has ceased to allow Boeing to issue its own navigability certificates for 737 Max planes in 2019 after two fatal accidents. He made a similar decision for the Boeing 787 in 2022 due to production defects.

Since the second maximum accident, in March 2019, the FAA has only issued navigability certificates, which have certified planes as safe to fly, for maximums. The FAA said that he and Boeing would deliver alternating certificates.

“Safety pilots everything we do, and the FAA will only allow this step forward because we are convinced that this can be done safely,” FAA said in a statement. “This decision follows an in -depth examination of Boeing’s production quality and will allow our inspectors to concentrate additional monitoring in the production process.”

Boeing did not immediately comment.

The company has been working for years to exceed a series of security and manufacturing problems. An outdoor eruption of a door panel of one of its new 737 max 9 in January 2024 reinstalled these plans, with the production of FAA to cap the Maxes and an in -depth examination of Boeing, a high -level American exporter.

“If Boeing requests an increase in the production rate, FAA security inspectors on site will perform in -depth planning and exams with Boeing to determine if they can produce aircraft more safe,” the FAA said on Friday.

Boeing CEO, Kelly Ortberg, who took the bar a little over a year ago, said that the company focused on stabilizing its production rate of its maximum at 38 months, and it expressed its optimism about the evaluation of an increase beyond that with the FAA.

“I am quite confident that we will be in a position here very soon to sit down with the FAA and go through what we call a Capstone review, which is the process that we are going through not only to go through these (key performance indicators), but to examine all our preparation of the supply chain, our preparation for continuous production and move forward with it,” he said during a Morgan Stanley Investor conference.

Boeing actions increased by around 4% on Friday.
