Aviation board OKs Boeing plans
Boeing said the FAA approved a “capstone review” to support higher 737 Max output. CEO Kelly Ortberg told the Bernstein conference production is being ramped from a 42-jet monthly cap toward 47 jets “in the next couple of months” (currently capped at 42; previously 38 in 2024). Boeing aims to improve cash and debt. Ortberg also cited a China commitment for 200 aircraft and said 737 Max 7/10 certification is near completion; 787 seat certification is delaying deliveries.
