FAA prioritizes certifying Boeing 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 before 777-9 amid extensive delays
Boeing currently has three aircraft models that have been stuck in certification hell for years: the 737 MAX 7, the MAX 10, and the 777-9. All three of these were supposed to be certified between 2019 and 2020 when initially launched, but over six years later, Boeing has not delivered a single example to an airline. Certification and entry-into-service for all three have been continuously delayed, but earlier in 2026, Boeing provided a more concise timeline. The 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 will be certified by the end of the 2026 summer season, while the 777-9 will come in 2027.
