Boeing Software Glitch Delays 737 MAX 10 Certification as Company Lands $20B Navy Contract

A Boeing (BA) software glitch may delay certification of its 737 MAX 10 jets. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has opened a Corrective Action Review to investigate the issue, which affects automated guidance on the aircraft.

The review is not expected to pose a safety risk, but it may affect delivery schedules and certifications for new MAX 10 jets. Some airlines have already paused acceptance of these planes due to concerns about the software glitch.

Boeing has won several major contracts recently, including a $20B deal with the US Navy to design and build sixth-gen fighter aircraft. This contract is expected to provide a significant boost to Boeing's defense business.
