The acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday Sept. 15 said the agency is not committing to a timeline to approve the Boeing 737-7 or -10 MAX jets.

Boeing faces a late December deadline set by Congress to win certification of the two variants of the MAX before a new safety standard on cockpit alerts takes effect. Asked if it was likely the FAA would certify the MAX 7 before the end of the year, Nolen said: “I am not going to commit to a timeline. … We are working through that as purposefully as we can and we will get it done when we get it done.”
