FAA allows Boeing to self-certify 737 MAX and 787 airworthiness again

The US Federal Aviation Administration has reinstated Boeing's authority to issue airworthiness certificates for its 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner aircraft, a power previously revoked after safety issues. This decision permits Boeing to sign off on new planes without direct FAA oversight, marking a shift from stricter post-crash regulations. The move is significant because it restores Boeing's autonomy in certifying its own aircraft, raising questions about safety oversight and accountability.
