Boeing<\/strong> plans to push production of its bestselling 737<\/strong> narrowbody jet to a record of at least 57 per month by July 2025, reflecting rising orders and the company’s recovery after the MAX crisis, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.<\/p>\n

The goal would hit the planemaker’s unmet target from several years ago, which was scuttled in 2019 when the MAX was grounded globally following two deadly plane crashes.<\/p>\n

Both Boeing and its European rival Airbus have laid out ambitious ramp-up goals as air travel and aircraft sales rebound, with Airbus producing in-demand single aisle planes even faster than the U.S. planemaker.<\/p>\n

Boeing laid out the plan in the latest version of its master schedule for suppliers, which was reaffirmed by the planemaker in mid-September, the sources told Reuters<\/a> on condition of anonymity because the document is not public.<\/p>\n

The schedule targets 737 production to reach 42 jets a month by December 2023, affirming statements made by Boeing Commercial Airplanes head Stan Deal to Bloomberg TV in June.<\/p>\n

From there, monthly 737 production is set to grow to 47.2 jets in June 2024 and 52.5 jets in December 2024 before hitting a steady rate of 57.7 aircraft per month in July 2025.<\/p>\n

Before the 2019 grounding of the 737 MAX, Boeing was producing 52 737s a month on its way to a target of 57.<\/p>\n

Boeing’s formal 737 production target is 50 per month for the 2025-2026 timeframe, unveiled by the company last November during an investor day.<\/p>\n

But Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun telegraphed a rate increase to 60 jets a month could be on the table as the company racks up orders, such as a deal with Air India for almost 200 MAXs booked this year.<\/p>\n

“I would love to get to 60 deliveries and the market is there for it. There’s no doubt about it,” Calhoun said in a July earnings call.<\/p>\n

The Boeing CEO added the second half of 2024 would be a key moment for the company to prove it could keep its supply chain stable and maintain its ramp up plan.<\/p>\n

“If we get through that well and we execute well, then we’ll be talking to all of you about 60 deliveries,” Calhoun said at the time. “But I don’t want to get ahead of myself.”<\/p>\n

Airbus in July reaffirmed a widely watched production goal for its best-selling A320neo family jets of 75 a month in 2026, with executives stating it was “progressing well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boeing plans to push production of its bestselling 737 narrowbody jet to a record of at least 57…\n","protected":false},"author":4316,"featured_media":106494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[190],"tags":[222,605,220],"class_list":{"0":"post-144279","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-industry","8":"tag-aircraft","9":"tag-avion-en-2","10":"tag-boeing-2"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-300x150.jpg",300,150,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-768x384.jpg",768,384,true],"large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"pk-small":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",80,40,false],"pk-thumbnail":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",300,150,false],"csco-small":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-80x80.jpg",80,80,true],"csco-intermediate":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-200x140.jpg",200,140,true],"csco-thumbnail":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-380x220.jpg",380,220,true],"csco-thumbnail-alternative":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-300x180.jpg",300,180,true],"csco-thumbnail-uncropped":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-380x190.jpg",380,190,true],"csco-medium":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-medium-alternative":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737-560x336.jpg",560,336,true],"csco-medium-uncropped":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-large-uncropped":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false],"csco-extra-large":["https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Boeing-Fabrica-737.jpg",800,400,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Redacci\u00f3n - Aviaci\u00f3n al D\u00eda","author_link":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/author\/aad"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Boeing plans to push production of its bestselling 737 narrowbody jet to a record of at least 57…","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144279"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":144280,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144279\/revisions\/144280"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
