Boeing shares rise 3.2% following FAA reports easing restrictions

Boeing's stock experienced a significant upward movement on Tuesday, September 12, 2025, rising by 3.2% following reports from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that eased restrictions on the company's aircraft. This development comes amidst a series of positive news for Boeing, including substantial orders and potential deals with major airlines.

The FAA's decision to relax certain restrictions on Boeing's aircraft is expected to boost the company's operational efficiency and safety standards, which have been a point of concern in recent years. The FAA's move is seen as a positive signal by investors, who have been closely watching Boeing's recovery from past setbacks.

Additionally, Boeing has been making strides in securing large orders and closing deals with international airlines. On Monday, Boeing announced a deal with Uzbekistan Airways for up to 22 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, marking the largest order in the airline's history. This order is expected to modernize Uzbekistan Airways' fleet and support nearly 35,000 jobs .

Elsewhere, Boeing is in the final negotiation stages for a "huge" aircraft order with China, which could end a sales drought stretching back to 2017. The order, which has been years in the making, would be the centerpiece of a trade agreement between the U.S. and China .

Moreover, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to buy hundreds of Boeing airliners and Lockheed Martin fighter jets, subject to approval by U.S. President Donald Trump. Turkey hopes to offset its payments for American planes with local production deals worth more than $10 billion .

Boeing's stock has been volatile in recent months, falling nearly 8% in September and threatening to snuff a five-month rally. However, with the FAA's easing of restrictions and the potential for significant orders, the company's stock has shown resilience, climbing 22% this year through September 12, 2025 .
