Boeing's smallest 737 Max 7 wins FAA certification after decade of delays — but won't carry passengers until 2027

The FAA certified Boeing's 737 Max 7 on Monday after nearly a decade of delays and safety reviews. The approval allows Boeing to begin deliveries of the smallest Max variant, which seats 135 to 160 passengers. Southwest Airlines, the launch customer and largest buyer, has not scheduled the Max 7 for passenger service until March 2027. The carrier said it needs approximately six months after certification to update manuals, training, operating specifications, and interiors. The FAA required flight-control software updates, cockpit-alert changes, and a redesigned engine anti-ice system. Certification could unlock cash from roughly 30 completed Max 7s in inventory, as manufacturers receive most payment at delivery. The milestone follows years of regulatory scrutiny after two Max 8 crashes killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019.

Archer Aviation vs. Boeing: Which aerospace stock is the better buy in 2026?

Archer Aviation and Boeing present contrasting investment profiles for 2026: emerging electric aircraft technology versus established aerospace dominance. Archer Aviation specialises in electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for urban air-taxi services. The company reported $300,000 revenue in fiscal 2025 with a net loss of $618.2 million, reflecting its pre-commercial status. It maintains a conditional $1 billion purchase agreement with United Airlines and collaborates with the US Air Force. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at 0.1x, whilst free cash flow was negative $511.7 million. Boeing generated $89.5 billion revenue in fiscal 2025, up 34.5% year-over-year, with net income of $2.2 billion. However, its debt-to-equity ratio reached 10x, and free cash flow remained negative at $1.9 billion. US government contracts account for 35% of revenue. The choice depends on investor risk appetite: Archer offers high-growth potential in emerging technology, whilst Boeing provides recovery prospects in established aerospace markets.

Boeing edges out Airbus with 173 orders at Farnborough as CEO Ortberg's turnaround gains traction

Boeing secured more orders than Airbus at the Farnborough Airshow, marking its first victory at a major air show in four years. The American planemaker announced deals for 173 aircraft compared to Airbus's 154, suggesting airlines are regaining confidence in the company. CEO Kelly Ortberg's hands-on leadership approach appears to be helping Boeing recover from recent safety concerns and quality issues. Industry analysts noted his high visibility at the show as a positive sign. However, Boeing still faces significant challenges. The company reported a $428 million loss in the second quarter, and its share price has dropped 8% over the past year. Supply-chain constraints and enormous backlogs persist. The show's order book notably lacked big-name airlines, with the largest order coming from lessor SMBC Aviation. Emirates also announced it would reject the first 10 Boeing 777X jets built for it.

Boeing's Air Force One programme now $3.1B over budget, absorbing $280M additional costs

Boeing reported an additional $280 million loss on the Air Force One programme in its Q2 financial statement, bringing total cost overruns to $3.1 billion. The aerospace company is covering these expenses under the fixed-cost $3.9 billion deal signed in 2018. The two VC-25B aircraft have faced significant delays due to design changes, production issues, and staffing problems. Originally scheduled for 2024 delivery, the first plane is now expected in 2027. Boeing bears the financial burden of overruns rather than taxpayers. The latest losses stem from increased production and certification resources. President Trump negotiated the original deal during his first term to replace the ageing Boeing VC-25A fleet. Meanwhile, a Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar's royal family has been serving as an interim solution.

Boeing CEO says production at 'levels not seen since 2018' as CFO calls $10B free cash flow target 'very attainable

Boeing shares rose over 5% in midday trading Tuesday as CEO Kelly Ortberg announced production and deliveries have reached levels "not seen since 2018." The company is on track to achieve positive free cash flow for the year. CFO Jesus Malave reaffirmed Boeing's long-term target of $10 billion in free cash flow, calling it "very attainable." The aerospace manufacturer reported second-quarter revenue of $24.56 billion, exceeding estimates of $24.2 billion, though it posted a wider-than-expected loss of $0.76 per share. Boeing maintained its guidance to deliver 90 to 100 Boeing 787 aircraft this year and confirmed the first 777X delivery remains scheduled for 2027. The company said 737 production is transitioning to 47 aircraft monthly, whilst 787 production has stabilised at eight per month.
