Boeing Confirms Study into Increasing 737 Production Rate
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope confirmed the company is studying a potential increase in its 737 production rate. This exploration considers moving beyond the current target of 38 jets per month, a rate the manufacturer is still working to stabilize. The study is intended to assess the long-term capacity of the supply chain for future demand. This planning occurs even as Boeing operates under intense FAA scrutiny and a production cap following recent quality control failures. Pope emphasized that stabilizing the current production system remains the immediate priority.
