Summary
Boeing said years of testing and regulatory work have clarified the remaining steps to certify three delayed aircraft — the 737-7, 737-10 and 777-9.
The 737-7 is closest to approval: certification deliverables are 95% complete, certification flight testing is finished, and teams are closing final FAA technical approvals.
That program logged 686 flight-test hours across 441 flights, plus 349 hours of ground testing, with final work including certification of the production engine anti-ice solution.
Executives said the clearer path gives customers and other stakeholders better visibility into timing after years in which Boeing lacked certainty on how the programs would reach certification.
