Boeing is considering steadying the production pace of its 737 MAX to 38 aircraft a month for the next few months, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing Boeing’s Commercial Airplanes VP of Quality Doug Ackerman. The firm needs to prove it can maintain production for a while before asking the Federal Aviation Agency to remove its production limit.

It hasn’t been easy: Boeing delivered a total of 130 commercial units in 1Q 2025 — a slight switch up after it was struggling to meet its annual jet delivery targets earlier this year due to due to shortages in spare parts, issues with engine maintenance, and issues with their supply chain, as well as increased operational costs due to US tariffs Boeing reportedly resumed production of its 737 MAX jetliner in December 2024 as well as the rest of its models, including wide-body aircraft, after a seven-week strike threw a spanner in the works and caused massive delays.
