Aircraft manufacturer Boeing has plans to increase the production of the 737
MAX again. According to Reuters news agency, the company informed its
suppliers of this. To be able to implement the plans, the American aviation
authority FAA must give the aircraft permission to fly again in the fourth
quarter.
 
Boeing wants to build 47 aircraft from October and from February 52 per month.
The latter number is the same as before the airplane had to stay on the
ground. Last April Boeing reduced the production pace to 42 aircraft per month
and the deliveries to customers were also stopped.
 
After production has been brought back to the required level, Boeing wants to
further increase it. From June next year, 57 aircraft should roll off the line
every month, a record in the production of the aircraft type.
 
The Boeing 737 MAX has been banned from flying worldwide for months. That
happened after a crash of an aircraft from Ethiopian Airlines as a result of
an over-safety system. A few months earlier, a 737 MAX from the Indonesian
airline Lion Air had also crashed due to that system. It is still unclear when
the aircraft will be assessed as airworthy again after adjustments.
