The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has allowed Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates at the end of the production process for all B737 MAX and B787 aircraft. The decision is effective as of July 20, 2026.

The manufacturer had been stripped of the ability to certify its own aircraft following the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes in 2018 and 2019, respectively, that killed 346 people. In September 2025, the FAA allowed Boeing to issue some of the certificates.
