The U.S. government is set to announce Tuesday that it has approved Boeing’s 737 Max 10 airliner for passenger service after years of delays, a Transportation Department official told The Associated Press.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to announce the decision Tuesday afternoon during a visit to Boeing’s manufacturing plant in Everett, Washington, the official said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the certification ahead of the announcement.

The 737 Max 10, which can have up to 230 seats, was introduced at the Paris air show in 2017 to help Boeing compete with rival Airbus. But a series of technical and safety-related concerns slowed certification of the largest version of Boeing’s bestselling 737 family. Boeing has said it expects to make the first deliveries in 2027.

Certification of the Max 10 would complete Boeing’s lineup of four 737 Max models and represent another milestone in the company’s efforts to restore its reputation and financial footing after years of safety, quality and production challenges. The FAA cleared the smaller Max 7 for airline operations in August.
