Boeing plan near 60 737s per month

Boeing is planning to ramp up its B-737 single aisle airliner production to some 57 aircraft per month. Boeing’s CEO, Dennis Muilenburg predicts that 737 deliveries will accelerate in the remaining months of 2018. Earlier this year, Boeing boosted 737 output from 47 to 52 aircraft per month, and plans to reach 57 aircraft per month in 2019. However, supply chain problems,

have impacted on Boeing’s deliveries, with the company handing over just 29 737s in July and 48 in August 2018. Airbus, which shares many of the same suppliers, has also experienced significant disruption to its narrow body deliveries, but is similarly looking to further increase its output.

Powerplant manufacturer Safran, which is a partner in the CFM joint venture with GE Aviation has reiterated that it would make no decision on any further rate increase until “its current issues are resolved.”
