Aircraft manufacturer Boeing plans to increase production of the 737 MAX to 57
aircraft per month. That number must be achieved by July 2025.
 
According to the Reuters news agency, Boeing wants to significantly increase
production of the MAX. The manufacturer wants to deliver 42 aircraft in
December this year.
 
From then on, monthly production of the 737 should grow to exactly 47.2
aircraft in June 2024 and 52.5 aircraft in December 2024, before reaching a
stable number of 57.7 aircraft per month in July. That would be a record for
Boeing.
 
Before the 737 MAX was grounded in 2019 (after the Lion Air and Ethiopian
Airlines crashes), Boeing was building 52 aircraft per month.
 
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun has indicated that he wants to increase production
even further. "I would like to have sixty aircraft per month, there is a
market for that," he told Reuters.
