American aerospace giant Boeing restarts production of its 737 MAX aircraft at its Renton factory, marking a critical step in the company’s recovery efforts.
Boeing 737 MAX Production
The machinist’s strike at Boeing, which began on September 13, poses a significant risk to the company’s financial recovery and production goals.
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.
Boeing may face heightened regulatory scrutiny in the event of further production issues, such as the suspected cause behind a door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines (AS) 737 MAX 9 jet.
Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) and Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) have entered into a contract for the production and provision of advanced composite assemblies intended for Boeing 737 MAX, 777X, and 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
