US aviation watchdog returning some 737 MAX, 787 ticketing authority to Boeing

Wait 5 sec.

The Federal Aviation Administration will allow Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates for some 737 MAX and 787 airplanes. This change begins next week, starting September 29. Boeing and the FAA will alternate issuing certificates weekly. This indicates Boeing's progress in safety and quality efforts. The FAA will maintain direct oversight of production processes. This move does not increase deliveries.
