This strategic move, coordinated directly with the US regulator, marks the beginning of the manufacturer&#8217;s operational recovery after months of severe restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulatory coordination and new delivery targets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement was made by the company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, Kelly Ortberg, during his address at the Bernstein Annual Strategic Decisions Conference. According to the executive, the increase to 47 jets a month is already underway and will be fully consolidated within the next two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company&#8217;s roadmap outlines an even greater expansion in the short term:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Target for early next year:<\/strong> Reach a production output of 52 aircraft per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Key factor:<\/strong> The opening of a fourth 737 production line at the Everett facility in Washington.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/05\/china-confirms-purchase-of-200-boeing-jets.html\">China Confirms Purchase of 200 Boeing Jets<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think everybody&#8217;s watching to make sure we hit the 47 and 52 rates,&#8221; Ortberg stated, acknowledging the massive expectations weighing on the firm&#8217;s supply chain and quality control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Path toward industrial stabilization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This production boost represents a critical milestone for the American manufacturer, which had been operating under strict regulatory scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2024, an incident involving a mid-air panel blowout on a virtually brand-new 737 MAX exposed significant flaws in the company&#8217;s quality controls. As a direct consequence, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed a strict production cap of 38 aircraft per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following months of audits and intense oversight, the regulatory agency lifted the production cap in October, allowing the company to map out this new industrial acceleration plan aimed at meeting global customer demand safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top
