FAA allows Boeing to ratify 737 Max, Dreamliner Jets after several safety rolls

The Federal Aviation Administration will allow Boeing to resume the issuance of flying validity certificates for about 737 and 787 Dreamliner aircraft next week, and years of direct federal control that are imposed after deadly accidents and high -quality flyers.

The Boeing power to ratify 737 individual MAX aircraft in 2019 after Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines and later extended the ban to 787 aircraft in 2022 due to production quality problems. Manufacturers are usually delegated to such certificates, but the frequent safety failure of Boeing led to intervention.

Starting on September 29, Boeing and FAA will switch weeks in issuing flying validity certificates, the agency said, confirming the Reuters report. Boeing shares rose nearly 5 % on the news.

The agency said in a statement, “The Federal Aviation Administration will not only allow this step forward because we are confident that it can be done safely,” the agency said in a statement. “This decision follows a comprehensive review of Boeing’s continuous production quality and will allow our inspectors to concentrate additional monitoring in the production process. The Federal Aviation Administration will continue to maintain direct and elegant supervision of Boeing production operations.”

This step does not exceed the Boeing rate, but indicates organizational recognition of progress in strengthening safety systems. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently a maximum size of a maximum of 38 aircraft, imposed after a flight in Alaska in 2024, in which a new plane suffered from an outdoor explosion associated with lost nails.

The director of the Federal Aviation Department, Brian Bedford, said earlier this month that any increase in future production depends on the recommendations of the front lines inspectors.

Boeing still faces scrutiny. The Federal Aviation Administration has suggested this month a fine of $ 3.1 million for safety violations, citing hundreds of violations of quality systems in Boeing Renton, Washington, 737 factories in the fuselage factory of the subcontractor in Whitchita, Kansas. The agency also said that Boeing had provided two unacceptable planes.

The failure of the Alaska Airlines lines in Alaska led to a criminal investigation into the Ministry of Justice during the time of President Joe Biden and highlighted Boeing’s lack of compliance with the postponed prosecution agreement for the year 2021 associated with bad ratification earlier.
