FAA Certifies Boeing 737-7

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued type certification for the Boeing 737-7.

The Boeing 737-7 is the shortest-fuselage variant in the Boeing 737 MAX series and can accommodate 135 to 160 passengers in a two-class configuration. Its range is approximately 10% longer than that of other variants in the series. Compared with previous-generation aircraft, it reduces fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 20% and noise by 50%.

Southwest Airlines, the launch customer, is preparing to take delivery. The Boeing 737 MAX family has an order backlog of more than 7,200 aircraft, with over 2,300 delivered by June. The longer-fuselage Boeing 737-10 aims to obtain type certification by the end of the year.
