Overview
- CEO Kelly Ortberg said Boeing expects to complete certification of its 737 MAX family, including the MAX 7 and MAX 10 variants, by the end of 2025.
- Boeing plans to increase 737 MAX production from the current FAA cap of 38 units per month to 42 by mid-2025 and to 47 by year-end pending regulatory approval.
- Deliveries to China will resume in June after a 15-month pause resulting from earlier trade disputes, marking a key export recovery for Boeing.
- Boeing faces ongoing regulatory scrutiny following a midair door-plug failure on an Alaska Airlines flight and two fatal MAX crashes as it seeks FAA clearance for higher output.
- The company holds nearly 1,200 orders for the MAX 10 and 332 for the MAX 7, with major carriers not expecting the first deliveries until mid-2026 at the earliest.
