Boeing Restarts 737 Max Production After Lengthy Strike

The aerospace giant resumes operations at its Washington factories a month after a seven-week machinists strike ended, with safety and quality concerns still under scrutiny.

Boeing restarted 737 Max production at its Renton facility last Friday, while its Everett plants are set to resume operations in the coming days.
The company has been under heightened FAA oversight since a January safety incident involving a 737 Max door panel, which has capped production at 38 planes per month.
Boeing delivered just 13 planes in November, down significantly from 56 during the same month last year, reflecting the impact of the strike and production challenges.
The company has laid off thousands of workers this year as part of broader cost-cutting measures, with a total workforce reduction of 10% planned.
Boeing faces ongoing financial pressures, reporting cumulative losses since 2019, and is working to rebuild trust with regulators, customers, and investors.
