Boeing has announced plans to significantly increase production of its 737 MAX aircraft. The company aims to produce 38 units per month by 2025, with a goal to triple this rate by 2027. These plans come after a year marked by various challenges, including the Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 door plug incident in January and subsequent groundings.

During an earnings call in April, Boeing's CFO Brian West stated that production was intentionally slowed below 38 units per month to focus on quality and safety improvements. "Production will remain below 38 per month for the first half of the year and will be higher in the second half," West said, emphasizing collaboration with the FAA.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been firm on not allowing Boeing to increase production until quality issues are resolved. A spokesperson for Boeing confirmed ongoing efforts to work closely with suppliers and customers to support production plans.

The recent machinists' strike ended with a new contract signed on November 4, allowing employees to return by November 12. Production resumed on December 6, guided by Boeing's safety management system.

Looking ahead, CFM International is expected to play a crucial role as the supplier of LEAP-1B engines for the 737 MAX. GE Aerospace reported a decrease in engine deliveries due to supply chain constraints but is investing in facilities to boost capacity.

Additionally, Boeing plans to finalize its acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems by mid-2025, aiming to strengthen its supply chain further.
