The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restores Boeing’s authority to certify the airworthiness of its 737 MAX and 787 aircraft for delivery after completing a review process. Multiple outlets report that the FAA’s decision follows months of joint safety reviews between FAA officials and Boeing. The move returns Boeing to a role that had been limited during a period of heightened oversight. Under the arrangement, Boeing can again perform certain certification activities tied to issuance of airworthiness approvals for specific aircraft types, subject to FAA requirements and continuing regulatory oversight. The announcement is characterized across sources as the end of a prolonged scrutiny period and a step toward resuming more routine certification and delivery timelines for these models. The reports do not describe any changes to aircraft design or specific new regulatory conditions beyond the restoration of certification authority, focusing instead on the FAA’s outcome after its review. The decision applies to Boeing’s 737 MAX and 787 product lines.
