Boeing, grappling with uneven 737 supply chain, targets 52 per month in February
Boeing has told suppliers it will resume production of its best-selling 737 jets at a rate of 52 aircraft per month in Feb 2020, then stepping up to a record 57 jets monthly in June, people familiar with the matter said. Boeing told more than 100 suppliers during at least one Web meeting July 30 that the new schedule depended upon regulators approving the 737 MAX to fly again commercially in Q4, one of the people said. One of the people expressed scepticism over the timing given the intense scrutiny from regulators that grounded the 737 MAX after deadly crashes. There is no guarantee when regulators will clear the 737 MAX to fly again, and Boeing CE Dennis Muilenburg told analysts last month that Boeing would consider further 737 output cuts or potentially suspending production if the grounding dragged on. <br/>
