The certification comes more than five years after the narrowbody jet's maiden flight; the aircraft had been set to start flying in 2020 but faced increased scrutiny and other safety issues that delayed approval. FAA Administrator Duffy said the certification process should move faster. The approval is an important step for Boeing as it tries to regain ground after safety crises and production setbacks.

Why it matters：Certifying the largest Max variant helps Boeing compete for narrowbody orders, but its safety record remains under scrutiny worldwide.
