BOEING CO · 2026-09-16 · Importance 46 · Surprise 42
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said stabilizing 737 MAX production at 47 aircraft per month is taking longer than expected. Wing production at the Renton, Washington, factory is the principal bottleneck, and Boeing plans corrective actions. After stabilization, Boeing aims to raise output to 52 aircraft per month, while preparing an additional Everett production line. The delay could affect commercial-aircraft delivery timing and the company’s production recovery outlook.
