JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2013 Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg stated that the\ncompany has met the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s (FAA) requirements\nto increase 737 Max production to 47 units per month.<\/p>\n
Currently, Boeing produces aircraft at a rate of 42 units per month,\nOrtberg said during a Bernstein conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have passed the final review for the 47-unit production rate, so\nwe are now operating the production line at 47 aircraft per month,\u201d\nOrtberg said, as reported by CNBC on Thursday, 28 May 2026.<\/p>\n
Ortberg said Boeing is currently moving towards a production capacity\nof 47 units per month, with the target expected to be achieved within\nmonths, though the process may take longer.<\/p>\n
In Boeing\u2019s latest financial report last month, Ortberg forecast the\ncompany would increase production of its best-selling aircraft to 47\nunits per month this summer.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, he reiterated that Boeing is \u201cvery confident\u201d about\nmeeting the target.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aim to reach a production rate of 63 units per month one day, and\nwe are looking forward to it,\u201d Ortberg said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe market supports higher production capacity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
However, he acknowledged Boeing still has work to do to further\nincrease 737 Max production.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the world is watching to ensure we can achieve 47 and 52\nunits per month,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
For reference, Boeing centralises its production in the United States\nwith two main assembly facilities in Renton and Everett, Washington\nstate.<\/p>\n
The Renton plant serves as the production hub for the Boeing 737\nfamily, including the 737 MAX variants, while the Everett facility\nhandles assembly of widebody aircraft such as the 777 and 787\nDreamliner.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/boeing-to-increase-737-max-production-to-47-units-per-month-1780015085", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
