Boeing You can sign in some of its 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner planes before the clients were given, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday, the last sign that the manufacturer is recovering the confidence of its regulator after years of security crisis.
FAA stopped allowing Boeing to issue its own aircraft certificates for 737 Max aircraft in 2019 after two fatal accidents. He made a similar decision for Boeing 787s in 2022 due to production defects.
Since the second maximum accident, in March 2019, FAA issued only aircraft certificates, which certifies aircraft as insurance to fly, for the maxes. FAA said he and Boeing will issue certificates in alternate weeks.
“Security drives everything we do, and FAA will only allow this step forward because we are sure that it can be done safely,” FAA said in a statement. “This decision follows an exhaustive review of the quality of continuous production of Boeing and will allow our inspectors to focus additional surveillance in the production process.”
Boeing did not comment immediately.
The company has been working for years to overcome a series of safety and manufacturing problems. A lunch in the air of a door panel of one of its new 737 Max 9s in January 2024 established those plans further, with the production of FAA with the production of the maximums and the increase in the Boeing scrutiny, a better exporter in the United States.
“If Boeing requests an increase in the production rate, FAA security inspectors will perform extensive planning and reviews with Boeing to determine if they can produce more airplanes safely,” FAA said Friday.
The Boeing CEO, Kelly Ortberg, who took the helm just over a year ago, said the company focuses on stabilizing its production rate of its maximums at 38 months, and has expressed optimism about the evaluation of an increase beyond that with FAA.
“I feel quite sure that we will be in a position here very soon to sit with the FAA and go through what we call a Capstone review, which is the process through which we pass not only go through these [key performance indicators]But to observe all our preparation of the supply chain, our continuous preparation of production and advance with that, “he said at a Morgan Stanley investor conference earlier this month.
Boeing shares increased approximately 4% on Friday.
