US certifies Boeing 737 MAX 7
The Boeing 737 Max 7 aircraft has received certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration after a review lasting nearly a decade. This was achieved by meeting the new safety requirements imposed by federal regulations following the crashes of the two aircraft in 2018 and 2019, which resulted in 346 fatalities. The certification comes after 441 flight tests and 686 hours of test flights. Boeing had initially planned to start deliveries in 2019, but the process was delayed due to the accidents and an incident in January 2024 where a part of the fuselage detached during a flight with Alaska Airlines.
