FAA lets Boeing sign off on 737 Max, 787 airworthiness certificates again

The U.S. government has allowed Boeing to again issue airworthiness certificates for its 737 Max and 787 Dreamliners, restoring authority that was stripped after fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. The FAA based the decision on eight months of comparable production quality findings whether Boeing or the FAA issued the certificates. The move marks a vote of confidence in Boeing after years of safety crises, including two crashes and a near catastrophe in January 2024.
