In context
“lenges in front of us in the year ahead, particularly on our development programs. Past delays to the certification timelines for the new 737 MAX derivatives and the 777-9 have been challenging, but we are making steady progress in performing than our revised schedules. The 737-10 recently gained type and inspection authority two or TIA two to expand flight testing. This final TIA opens up the majority of the certification flight testing, which is focused on validating the airplane's avionics, propulsion, auto flight capabilities, and other airplane functions. In addition, as we previously shared, we have a final set of design changes to permanently address the engine NII issues on the 737-7 and 737-10. We're following the lead of the FAA as we work to certify the suite of design changes. We still anticipate certification for both the 737-7 and 737-10 in 2026. On the 777-9, in the quarter, we received approval for TIA3 and continue to perform certification flight tests. TIA3 is a major phase of testing focused on avionics, environmental control systems, and the auxiliary power unit. As I've said before, overall, the aircraft and engine continue to perform well. We have identified a potential durability issue during a recent inspection on the 777X engine, and we're working with GE to better understand that issue and finalize root cause and corrective action. Importantly, as we work through this issue, we continue our certification flight testing, and we don't expect this to impact our delivery in 2027. Demand for the airplane remains strong, and we remain confident that the 777X will be the next flagship airplane for our global customers. Moving”
