EVERETT, Wash. (Reuters) – Boeing (NYSE:BA) on Wednesday said it was making progress but declined to offer a clear timeline when it believes it can win approval for its 737 MAX 10 as it faces a tougher regulatory climate, a company executive said on Wednesday.
Boeing faces a December deadline to win approval for the 737 MAX 10 or it will face new cockpit alerting requirements under a 2020 law unless Congress opts to wave it.
Mike Fleming, a senior vice president at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, told reporters “we really need to complete a good proportion of the development assurance work.” He added “it’s taking longer to get approval of our documents than it has in the past.”
