Boeing Boosts 737 MAX Production to 53 Jets Monthly by Year-End, FAA to Oversee Safety
Boeing is planning significant increases in its 737 MAX production, with the FAA playing a crucial role in overseeing safety amidst these hikes. The aviation giant has denied rumours of developing a new single-aisle aircraft to replace the 737 MAX.
Boeing's production cap for the 737 MAX is currently 38 jets per month, set following an incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 in January 2024. However, the company is set to increase this rate to 42 jets per month starting October 2025. This increase is part of a broader plan that could see production reach around 53 jets a month by the end of 2025, with further increases anticipated by late 2026.
To ensure safety and quality amidst these production hikes, Boeing will work closely with the FAA. The FAA will oversee Boeing's production processes and must approve any sustained higher production rates. Boeing aims to maintain the 42-jet-per-month rate for six months before discussing further increases with the FAA. The company's goal is to improve its financial situation by accelerating 737 production, with cash flow expected to improve as production increases.
Boeing's ambitious production plans for the 737 MAX will require careful oversight from the FAA to ensure safety and quality. With the FAA recently granting Boeing limited certification authority, the company is poised to increase production, potentially reaching around 53 jets a month by the end of 2025. This increased production is expected to bolster Boeing's financial situation.
