737 MAX 7 Timeline Uncertain After Boeing Withdraws Safety Exemption Request

Further uncertainty has been cast over the future of the yet-to-be-certified Boeing 737 MAX 7- the smallest variant of the US manufacturer's next-generation narrowbody series. This comes after Boeing's withdrawal of a safety exemption request. This request would have expedited the variant’s certification.
Why would Boeing do this, and what does it mean for airlines?

The real insanity is the -8 and -9 having certification. Neither should ever have received that.

[@erauprcwa]

Why the 9?

[@JoePez]

Yup. You can’t thank the negligence of the FAA for that one 😐

[@CarlosAlexandre-fl2ut]

Precisely! If the anti-ice system is the problem, are the engines of models 7 and 10 so different from models 8 and 9?

Boeing would be lucky if both the Max 7 and 10 gets certification this year.

[@ericjones7769]

This is just getting crazier and crazier with Boeing 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

[@michaelmarlow6610]

The real problem is that when Boeing does go bust none of the execs who actually tanked the company will get any punishment for it.

[@sainnt]

I suspect that Boeing already has the fix for the deicing system, so they will install them in the Max 7. That means they will also start rolling out the fix for the other variants too, which will probably delay the certification of the Max 10, not the 7.

[@nigelwatkins558]

the exemption should never have been granted, another example of political pressure, along with the new c9ckpit warning regulations for max 7 and 10...Theyy should not be type rated until 8 and 9s conform and are updated to new regs regarding safety notifications in the cockpit, and 7 and 10s should follow suit..

Are you sure? The Tupolev Tu-104, for example, saw one in five of its planes become hull losses and the Boeing B737 MAX is among the safest aircraft in the world due to the high standards that are placed upon it.
