Boeing 737 MAX Assembly Line
Boeing will begin building new 737 Max jets on a fourth final assembly line on July 6 at Everett’s Paine Field, located north of Seattle (SEA). CEO Kelly Ortberg confirmed the timeline in a CNBC interview on Friday.
Boeing announced on Sunday that it will need to conduct additional work on approximately 50 undelivered 737 MAX aircraft, which could potentially result in delays for some imminent deliveries.
