Boeing retracts request for a safety exemption on 737 Max 7 due to engine de-icing defect.

The exemption would have allowed operations without full compliance with safety rules, amidst political and bureaucratic pushback.

Boeing's 737 Max fleet, including models 8, 9, and 10, has faced significant safety challenges and scrutiny, impacting deliveries and operations.

Financial repercussions have affected Boeing's customers, leading to cancellations and supply chain issues.

Boeing now plans to address the anti-icing system issue during the certification process for the 737 Max 7.

FAA had grounded Max 9s due to a blown-out door panel but has approved return-to-service inspections.

Southwest Airlines has removed the Max 7 from its 2024 fleet plans as Boeing seeks FAA certification.

Boeing previously dealt with two crashes, a worldwide grounding, and issues requiring additional inspections and fixes.

Boeing's Commercial Airplanes CEO has issued an apology for the disruptions caused to their customers.
