SEATTLE-<\/strong> The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) <\/a>has given Boeing <\/a>the green light to commence certification flight testing for its 737 MAX 10,<\/a> the largest variant of its best-selling aircraft designed to secure a dominant position in the narrowbody market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing 737 MAX 10 Clear for Test Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This milestone enables FAA pilots to participate in the necessary flight testing required to certify the aircraft for regular operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describing it as a “significant milestone,” the executives expressed their commitment to obtaining certification for the 737-10, the largest member of the 737 MAX family, to facilitate its entry into passenger service worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing’s response to the European rival Airbus’s <\/a>A321neo, the 737 MAX 10, aims to compete in the lucrative top segment of the single-aisle market, historically dominated by Airbus’s A321neo over Boeing’s MAX 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of October, Boeing executives confirmed that the schedule for the MAX 10 remains on track. The plan includes certification and the initial aircraft delivery in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the FAA certification for Boeing’s MAX 7, the smallest variant in the 737 MAX family, is still pending, with expectations set for the end of 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
