FAA Clears Boeing 737 MAX 10 Software Issue

A recent software issue affecting Boeing's 737 MAX 10 aircraft has been deemed non-safety related by the FAA, removing another overhang from the company.

The statement from the FAA Corrective Action Review Board determined that pilots retain full control of the aircraft and flight crew indications are clear and unambiguous.

This development is significant as it paves the way for the 737 MAX 10's certification, which could positively impact Boeing's commercial aircraft backlog and subsequent cash flow.

The 737 MAX 10 accounts for approximately 30% of Boeing's multiyear commercial aircraft backlog exiting Q2 2026. The FAA's determination suggests that another issue weighing on BA shares may soon be resolved.
