Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Set to Announce Long-Awaited Certification of Boeing 737 MAX 10 On Tuesday

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is expected to certify Boeing's 737 MAX 10 on Tuesday, allowing deliveries to begin. The certification was delayed due to regulatory scrutiny and a software issue, but the FAA found no safety risk. The MAX 10 is the highest-capacity variant, with up to 210 passengers. Airlines like Ryanair have pre-ordered hundreds, while United Airlines adjusted its plans due to delays.
