Boeing Reportedly Delaying Key 737 MAX Production Milestones
11.09.2024 - 00:12 / travelpulse.com / North America / Donald Wood
Officials from Boeing announced that key production milestones for its 737 MAX airplanes would be delayed by around six months.
According to Reuters.com, the plane manufacturer’s supplier master schedule indicates that Boeing’s MAX production output would reach 42 a month in March 2025, compared to the previous target of September 2024.
While the company’s master schedule is not an official production target, the six-month delay is a troubling sign that Boeing is struggling to boost production of its best-selling plane due to ongoing government safety approval issues.
In response, Boeing said its official plane production target has not changed and currently calls for 38 MAX planes a month by the end of 2024, up from around 25 produced a month in July.
“On the master schedule, we continue to make adjustments as needed and manage supplier by supplier based on inventory levels,” Boeing CFO Brian West said. “Our objective remains to keep the supply chain paced ahead of final assembly to support stability.”
Reuters is also reporting that Boeing Commercial Airplanes is making an internal organizational change that would combine its operations and contracts teams to “improve communication between suppliers and the planemaker.”
Last week, it was revealed that Boeing was facing a possible employee strike, as current machinists’ union contract with nearly 32,000 workers is up on September 12.

Ask a Local: Where to Shop in Istanbul, According to Turkish Fashion Designers
The giant metropolis of Istanbul, with around 16 million inhabitants, has never stopped reinventing itself—whilst keeping one eye firmly on its historic roots. Just a few years ago, the Galataport project opened up three-quarters of a mile of coastline in harborside Karaköy to the public via a boardwalk lined with modern cafes, shops, restaurants, and museums. Most notably, there’s the famed architect Renzo Piano-designed Istanbul Modern and the new, ultra-luxurious Peninsula Istanbul made up of several 19th-century buildings on the Golden Horn waterway's European side.
