Story summary

On September 28, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it would delay certifying the Boeing 737 MAX 10 due to a newly discovered software issue. This decision came after Boeing disclosed that a specific software glitch could cause flight control systems to shut off unexpectedly during certain landing scenarios, increasing pilot workload in critical moments like go-arounds. As a result, Boeing's shares fell by 6.9%, reflecting investor concerns over additional delays for the aircraft model. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford stated at Reagan Washington National Airport that certification would be postponed until the agency was confident there were no unresolved issues with the software. The delay represents another setback for Boeing as it competes against Airbus in the single-aisle market segment, a key area for regaining lost ground and boosting sales.
