Boeing's 737-7 MAX, delayed for 15 years after its announcement and seven years after production began, received FAA certification following technical fixes linked to past 737-8 MAX crashes. The plane's limited appeal stems from its unique configuration, but it competes with Airbus and Embraer in the regional jet market. Allegiant Airlines committed to purchasing the model in 2022.

The US Federal Aviation Administration certified Boeing’s 737 Max 7 after years of delays, aiding Boeing’s efforts to restore its reputation and profitability. The certification follows past challenges, including two fatal crashes in 2018, and comes as Airbus remains ahead in design with its A320.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket failed to reach target orbit due to a cryogenic leak that froze a hydraulic line, causing a thrust anomaly during the second stage. The payload, AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 7 satellite, will be deorbited. Nine corrective actions have been implemented, and the FAA will verify changes before the next launch.

SpaceX's Starship successfully deployed Starlink satellites during its 12th flight test but faced setbacks in its Super Heavy Booster's performance and failed to reignite a Raptor engine in space, delaying orbital and lunar mission goals. The test highlighted both achievements, like satellite deployment and controlled reentry, and challenges, including booster failure and engine issues.

A plane crashed off the coast of Florida, and 11 survivors floated on a life raft for hours before being rescued by the US military. The pilot ditched the plane in the water after engine failure, and all survivors were reported to be in stable condition. The US Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the crash.

The FAA is investigating a close call between Republic Airways Flight 4464 and Jazz Aviation Flight 554 at New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport. Both crews responded to onboard alerts, with Flight 4464 performing a go-around after missing its approach path and coming too close to Flight 554 on a parallel runway. Both flights landed safely.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket after a satellite delivery failure was classified as a 'mishap.' The issue involved a second stage engine malfunction, requiring FAA approval before flights can resume.
