"Boeing Withdraws 737 Max 7 Safety Exemption Requests Amid Safety Crisis"

Boeing has withdrawn its request for a safety exemption for its 737 Max 7 aircraft after facing opposition from Senator Tammy Duckworth, who raised concerns about the potential risks associated with the exemption. The exemption involved an anti-ice system that could overheat and cause the engine nacelle to break apart, posing a danger to passengers. Boeing stated that it will instead incorporate an engineering solution during the certification process, and the FAA deferred comment to Boeing.
