Boeing Insists It Is Making Progress On Safety and Program Delays
As the 737 Max safety saga continues, Boeing's Farnborough show presence is understated
Boeing Max line Renton
Boeing's 737 Max assembly line in Renton has come under intense scrutiny following safety concerns most recently driven by the January incident involving a door plug that separated from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 while in flight.

Boeing has returned to the Farnborough International Airshow with a cross-section mockup of its new 777X cabin, but the aerospace giant’s commercial airliners are notably absent from the static and flying displays this year.

At the previous Farnborough show in 2022, Boeing debuted its 737 Max 10—the largest member of the 737 Max family—in the flying demonstrations, along with a flight test example of the 777-9, the larger of the two planned 777X variants.
