Facing scrutiny over a door panel blowout incident on a 737 Max, Boeing is withdrawing its request for a safety exemption to certify the new 737 Max 7 model. The company’s quality control and commitment to safety were questioned after the Max 9 incident, prompting Democratic senators to urge the FAA to deny the exemption. Boeing’s decision to withdraw the request is seen as prioritizing public safety. The safety concern involves an anti-icing system, affecting other 737 Max models already flying. Boeing aims to address the issue during the certification process, emphasizing transparency and commitment to safety.
