Boeing weighs suspending or cutting back 737 Max production
Boeing is considering either suspending or cutting back production of the 737 MAX amid growing uncertainty over the troubled plane’s return to service and could disclose a decision as soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter. Boeing management increasingly sees pausing production as the most viable among difficult options as the plane maker’s board began a meeting Sunday, these people said. Support for halting production comes days after regulators warned the aerospace giant it had been setting unrealistic expectations for when the jet would be allowed to fly again, these people said. Cutting production further, following an earlier reduction in April, would inflate Boeing’s costs and trigger charges against its financial results, as well as causing further disruption to airlines. <br/>
