Boeing said on Monday it was withdrawing a request for a key safety exemption that could have allowed U.S. regulators to speed up certification of its coming 737 MAX 7, in the latest fallout from the planemaker's ongoing crisis. The withdrawal, first reported by Reuters, throws the anticipated timeline for certifying Boeing's MAX 7 and the larger, better-selling MAX 10 into further doubt because it may force Boeing to make design changes more quickly than it had planned. CEO David Calhoun withdrew the exemption request after being asked to do so in Capitol Hill meetings last week as Boeing grapples with growing safety concerns following the mid-air incident on a 737 MAX 9 jet operated by Alaska Airlines.
