The FAA has authorized Boeing to resume issuing all routine final airworthiness certificates for new 737 MAX and 787 aircraft, effective 20 July 2026, ending an eight-month alternating-week trial between the manufacturer and regulator. Data from the trial confirmed comparable production quality findings regardless of who issued certificates, validating consistent oversight under Boeing’s Organization Designation Authorization unit. The restoration streamlines pre-delivery processes for operators by removing the FAA bottleneck for routine certifications, though the agency retains final authority on export certificates and continues all production line inspections, audits, and quality monitoring. Boeing does not regain approval authority for MAX 7 or MAX 10 designs, and 737 MAX production limits remain in place while being gradually eased alongside this certification restoration.
