SOUTHWEST CEO SAYS BOEING 737 MAX 7 CERTIFICATION LIKELY AROUND AUGUST 2026 Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan expects the long-delayed Boeing 737 MAX 7 to be certified around August 2026, with the airline planning to launch operations in Q1 2027. Boeing is ramping up MAX production, but certification of the MAX 7 and MAX 10 remains delayed by an engine de-icing issue. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg also expects both models to be certified in 2026.

NEW UPDATE: The Federal Aviation Administration has approved Boeing to proceed with TIA Phase 4B certification testing for the 777X, unlocking the largest remaining portion of flight test work needed for type certification. According to Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope, the authorization enables expanded testing in avionics, stability and control, and human factors—key final areas before certification. Pope noted this is the last major TIA phase, though not yet complete, with the FAA still requiring extensive additional test points before type certification is issued. The 777-9 campaign, now years behind schedule, has been slowed by multiple technical issues and heightened FAA scrutiny following the 737 MAX crisis, with certification now targeted for next year at the earliest.

NEW SETBACK FOR BOEING'S 777X PROGRAM The FAA has indicated that certification of the Boeing 777X is now unlikely in 2026, pushing the aircraft even further beyond its already lengthy delay. Boeing had been targeting FAA approval around October 2026, but the regulator now expects the 777X to be certified only after the 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 complete their certification campaigns. The world's largest twin-engine airliner was officially launched in 2013 and was originally expected to enter service in 2020. If certification slips into 2027, the program will be more than 7 years late and nearly 14 years removed from launch before carrying its first passengers. Despite the latest delay, Boeing insists there are no new technical issues with the aircraft. Instead, the company says the prolonged timeline is largely the result of the FAA's significantly more rigorous certification process introduced after the 737 MAX crisis. 📹: dfwspotter

First flight! ✈️ The first 777-9 airplane for Lufthansa flew ahead of certification testing. The airline is one of the 777X launch customers. Boeing pilots Capt. Ted Grady and Capt. Jake Miller flew a three-hour, 27-minute profile over Washington and Oregon, completing a standard flight designed to test the airplane’s systems and structures. Thank you to Lufthansa for choosing the 777X family! More:

The Boeing 777X is now 6 years overdue—and counting. Launched in 2013, it was meant to fly passengers by 2020. Now, first deliveries are pushed to 2026. Engine issues, certification delays, and structural faults grounded its progress. Is this the biggest delay in modern aviation? 📹: Portland Aviation(YouTube)

🚨⚡️Massive failure and expected delays! The new giant American presidential aircraft, Boeing (VC-25B), is turning into an expensive nightmare. The unique aircraft that was gifted by Qatar to Trump, which was supposed to be delivered in February 2026 (Trump’s proposal), has been delayed to the summer of 2026, and even that date is not confirmed due to the industrial shortfall in the West.

#WATCH | Delhi: On an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner grounded after pilots reported a possible defect in the fuel control switch, Former Flight Operations Inspector with DGCA, Captain Prashant Dhalla says, "Yet again the Boeing 787 has come into the limelight. It is horrific. We were just trying to analyse the preliminary report of the Boeing 787 Air India crash on 12th June. Lately till yesterday, we got to know that another Boeing 787 in the pilot defect report, which is part of the technical log book of the aircraft, the pilot in command has given a noting which is in black and white, which clearly states that the fuel control switch, which is one of the most essential switches in the Boeing 787, has faltered, has misbehaved and it is quite appalling as an aviator that the same switch was part of an inquiry report which led to the Air India crash. We must understand that this fuel control switch is guarded by the manufacturer, has misbehaved. In this particular instance, the operator, the regulator and the manufacturer, all three of them have to introspect. The country cannot take this lightly..."

Boeing 777-9 undergoing VMU (Velocity Minimum Unstick) testing. This certification test determines the minimum speed at which the aircraft can safely take off. During the test, the jet accelerates to takeoff speed and is pitched to its maximum angle of attack until the tail drags on the ground. The exact moment it lifts off defines the VMU, with the tail protected by a temporary skid.

Boeing’s long-delayed 777X faces another setback — first delivery now pushed to 2027, with a $5 billion charge due to delays. Initially promised for 2020, the jet is now 6 years late, and FAA certification is taking longer than expected. CEO Kelly Ortberg said: “While we are disappointed in the 777X schedule delay, the airplane continues to perform well in flight testing, and we remain focused on the work ahead to complete our development programs and stabilize our operations to restore trust.”

Boeing just dropped another 777X update: new durability glitch with the GE9X engines during inspection. They're teaming up with GE to sort it, swearing it won't mess with 2027 deliveries. After years of delays, cracks, halts... color me skeptical. Profit looks good tho ($2.2B in '25). Is 2027 finally real this time, or are we looking at 2028? ✈️

🚨 JUST IN: UNITED AIRLINES BOEING 777 TAKES OFF WITH MAJOR FUEL LEAK This is happening WAY too frequently with both Boeing and United The 777 was taking off from Sydney, Australia in route to San Francisco when it was captured on video dumping fuel all over the runway, which is just another example of technical failures occurring recently on United’s Boeing fleet. We’ve also seen another United Airlines 777 lose a wheel during takeoff ago, and a United 737’s landing gear collapse while landing in Houston within the past three days alone. IS THIS A RESULT OF DEI HIRES?
