The Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft, the latest and largest addition to the 737 MAX family, will enter service by 2023 or 2024, the plane maker said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
MAX 10 models are also currently going through Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification activities.
“We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process, and currently expect … the 737 MAX 10 to begin FAA certification flight testing in 2022 or 2023 and enter service in 2023 or 2024,” the company said in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
MAX 10 and the family’s smallest variant MAX 7 have yet to enter commercial service as both are still awaiting certification.
The company said it expects the MAX 7 to be certified in 2022 or 2023 and enter service in 2023.
“With safety as our primary focus, we continue to work to meet all current regulatory requirements to support certification and are also engaged in discussions with stakeholders concerning a possible extension to the ACSAA's [Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act] December 27, 2022, deadline,” Boeing said in the filing.
“We currently have approximately 27 MAX 7 and three MAX 10 aircraft in inventory and approximately 250 MAX 7 and 600 MAX 10 aircraft in backlog,” it added.
Today, Boeing posted a quarterly net loss of more than $3.3 billion in the third quarter, from $132 million in the same period last year, driven by a drop in the defence, space and security business division.
The company’s loss per share expanded to $5.49 from $0.19 in the same period last year, while its revenue jumped 4.4 per cent annually to almost $16bn.
Alaska Airlines, the fifth-largest passenger airline in the US, announced on Wednesday it is purchasing 52 737 MAX aircraft between 2024 and 2027. This will increase the airline's fleet of 737 MAX planes from 94 to 146.

Salah in numbers
€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of €39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.
13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.
57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.
7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.
3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.
40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.
30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.
8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
