Boeing to halt 737 production in January

Boeing confirms it will suspend 737 production in January, a move that comes 10 months after the aircraft’s grounding and that signal significantly-broader fallout from a crisis that has already hammered Boeing. How long the company will halt production remains unknown, as does the duration of the grounding. “We have previously stated that we would continually evaluate our production plans should the Max grounding continue longer than we expected,” said Boeing . “As a result of this ongoing evaluation, we have decided to prioritise the delivery of stored aircraft and temporarily suspend production on the 737 programme beginning next month.” Boeing calls the move the “least disruptive to maintaining long-term production system and supply chain health”. <br/>
