The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is nearing approval of Boeing’s 737 MAX 10, with multiple reports citing the possibility that the certification decision could arrive as soon as next week. Reuters and other outlets say the timing depends on the outcome of ongoing FAA review steps and internal procedures following recent certification activity.
Quartz reports that Boeing and the FAA held a certification board meeting tied to the final stages of the process, indicating the aircraft is approaching the end of the review. Investing.com similarly states that sources expect approval in the near term, framing the event as imminent and contingent on the FAA completing remaining checks. Across the coverage, the main points are that the certification process is close to completion and that expected approval timing has shifted toward early next week rather than later.
While outlets differ slightly in when they expect approval—using terms like “as soon as next week” or “nearing approval”—they align on the broader context: the FAA is in the final phase of certifying the 737 MAX 10 after a key review meeting, and a decision is expected shortly.
