Boeing 737 MAX 10 Nears FAA Certification with Over 1,500 Pending Orders

The Boeing 737 MAX 10 is on the cusp of FAA certification, which is expected to occur within days. Alaska Airlines, the launch customer, anticipates certification before September's end.

Nearly 1,500 orders are pending for the new aircraft, led by major U.S. carriers such as American, Delta, United, and international carriers like Ryanair.

The MAX 10 offers a higher seat count than its predecessors but has a shorter range, making it optimized for domestic and short-haul routes.
