737 MAX Production Ramp
BOEING CO · 2026-09-17 · Importance 51 · Surprise 50 · In source text
Boeing remains unable to stabilize 737 MAX production at 47 aircraft per month, with wing production in Renton identified as the primary constraint. The company’s previously targeted increase to 52 737s per month by the end of 2026 now appears unlikely. Boeing plans to certify the North Line and work through inventory of pre-built MAX 7 and MAX 10 aircraft, which could release working capital and support profitability once production stabilizes.
Key facts
- Boeing aims to stabilize at rate 47 in Renton, certify the new North Line, and work through significant inventory of pre-built Max 7s and Max 10s to unlock working capital and improve profitability. source
