AviationNews – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a significant acceleration in the certification of new commercial aircraft without compromising existing safety standards. This regulatory overhaul helps manufacturers like Airbus and Boeing bring greener, more efficient aircraft designs to the market much faster. Announced in late June 2026, the proposed rulemaking updates the Part 25 airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes.

Aviation News – Russia’s federal air transport regulator is accelerating certification of the MC-21-310 by adding two more aircraft to its flight-test programme, aiming to meet an October deadline and advance domestic aviation independence. The regulator, Rosaviatsia, confirmed that the additional MC-21-310 jets will support an intensive certification effort following delays caused by the aircraft’s redesign with locally sourced systems. The programme reflects Russia’s broader import-substitution strategy, developed in response to reduced access to foreign aerospace components.

Aviation News – Europe’s aviation safety regulator has carried out test flights of Chinese-built COMAC passenger jets as part of their formal certification process, a move that could open the European market to China’s commercial aircraft industry. The trials matter because European approval is a critical bolt in gaining international airline confidence and broader market access. The flights were conducted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as part of its ongoing technical evaluation of COMAC aircraft, including the narrowbody C919.

Aviation News – Gulfstream Aerospace has announced that its G500 and G600 business jets have received steep-approach landing certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, expanding access to more airports worldwide. The approval is particularly significant for European operators flying into space-constrained or noise-sensitive locations. The EASA certification follows earlier approvals by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, granted to the G500 in 2023 and the G600 in 2024.

Aviation News – Boeing has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to move the 737 MAX 10 into the second phase of flight testing, a key step in the aircraft’s long-delayed certification process that matters to airlines awaiting capacity growth.The decision advances certification work on the largest variant of Boeing’s best-selling single-aisle jet, with the manufacturer aiming to complete approval for both the…

Aviation News – The Federal Aviation Administration will evaluate Boeing’s upgraded flight crew alerting system for the 737 MAX 10, a key step as the aircraft moves toward certification amid heightened scrutiny of cockpit safety standards. The review centers on Boeing’s proposed enhancements, which include a synthetic angle-of-attack system and new controls to deactivate stall-warning and overspeed alerts. The updated system follows a 2022 decision by Congress to waive a deadline that would have required the MAX 10 to meet a newer cockpit-alerting standard, allowing Boeing more time to develop an alternative compliance pathway.
