The US Federal Aviation Administration will allow Boeing to resume issuing airworthiness certificates for its 737 Max and 787 Dreamliner jets, more than six years after fatal crashes prompted regulators to revoke the company's certification authority, reported Indianapolis' WISH-TV.

The FAA said the decision followed a thorough review of Boeing's production quality. The agency had taken full control of Max approvals in 2019 after two deadly crashes were linked to a software flaw. Boeing lost its Dreamliner self-certification rights in 2022 due to ongoing quality concerns.

Under the new arrangement, Boeing and FAA inspectors will alternate weekly in conducting final safety checks before aircraft are cleared for delivery. The FAA said this will allow its inspectors to focus on more rigorous oversight of Boeing's production lines.

Boeing's shares rose about four per cent following the announcement, which coincided with news of fresh orders from Turkish Airlines and Norwegian Group. Turkish Airlines plans to buy 75 Dreamliners and may order up to 150 more Max jets, potentially the largest single purchase of the model.

Norwegian Group, which operates Norwegian Air Shuttle and Wideroe, ordered 30 Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. The deals come amid renewed interest in Boeing under President Donald Trump's manufacturing revival agenda.

Critics have questioned whether Boeing has meaningfully reformed its safety culture. Earlier this month, the FAA proposed US$3.1 million in fines over alleged violations, including a paneled-over exit door blowout on a Max jet during an Alaska Airlines flight in January 2024.

Following the incident, the FAA capped Max production at 38 jets per month. Boeing said it reached that limit in the second quarter and may seek permission to increase output. The FAA said any request would trigger
