Boeing has faced significant challenges in recent years, including production delays, strikes, and safety incidents. These issues have impacted investor confidence. However, the company is now focusing on certifying its Boeing 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 models by the end of the year.
The 737 MAX family includes four models, with the MAX 7 being the smallest and the MAX 10 the largest. These aircraft are crucial for Boeing's commercial lineup and have been eagerly anticipated by airlines. The company has faced difficulties obtaining certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) due to safety concerns, particularly regarding engine de-icing systems.
In an interview with Aviation Week, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg emphasized the importance of certifying these models: "Two airplanes that are very, very important to our customers and our backlog.” Despite previous setbacks, Ortberg expressed confidence that certification would be completed by year's end.
