Brian Bedford, administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), stated at an air traffic modernization press conference held in Washington, D.C., on Monday that the FAA will delay the certification of the Boeing 737 Max 10 due to a software issue. The agency is currently assessing whether the issue poses a flight safety hazard. “We have not yet determined whether this is a flight safety issue, but we will delay certification until we are absolutely certain.” This could be a setback for Boeing, which is seeking to complete government approval for its best-selling aircraft series.
