Boeing Prepares to Increase 737 Production Rate to 47 Per Month
Boeing is actively preparing to increase its 737 production rate to 47 aircraft per month at its Renton, Washington facility. This planned ramp-up follows the current, FAA-capped rate of 38 jets per month, which was imposed after recent quality control issues. According to company leadership, an initial increase to 42 per month is anticipated 'very soon,' with the jump to 47 targeted for later in the year. The move is a critical step in Boeing's long-term plan to stabilize production at 50 aircraft per month by the 2025-2026 timeframe. However, any rate increase is contingent on meeting the FAA's rigorous quality audits and ensuring supply chain stability.
