The FAA confirmed on Friday, September 26, 2025, that it will allow Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates for some 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner jets starting on September 29, 2025. This marks the first time the regulator has granted Boeing the authority to perform final safety checks on these aircraft. The decision follows a thorough review of Boeing’s production quality and safety record. In addition to the certificate authority, the FAA confirmed that it will allow Boeing to increase its 737 MAX production cap to 42 planes a month from the current 38. The increased cap is part of the regulator’s effort to support Boeing’s production ramp and meet growing demand. The change is expected to accelerate the delivery of 737 MAX aircraft to airlines worldwide. The regulatory shift unlocks production and delivery capacity for Boeing, improving its cash flow and production ramp. The decision is a significant milestone in Boeing’s recovery plan and could enhance the company’s competitiveness in the commercial aircraft market. The FAA’s approval is a key development for Boeing’s future growth prospects.
