Boeing withdraws complaint related to 737 MAX 7 aircraft

The move could force Boeing to make design changes and affect its plans to certify the MAX 7 and MAX 10 models.

Boeing CEO David Calhoun withdrew his application following a request from the US Congress last week, after an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft suffered a mid-air fuselage failure on January 5 and had to make an emergency landing. The incident did not cause any casualties but led to safety concerns, along with the risk of slowing production and losing market share.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has repeatedly refused to schedule certification for the MAX 7 and MAX 10 models, affecting plans to supply US airlines such as Southwest Airlines and United Airlines, the largest customers for these two aircraft models.
