Bloomberg: Boeing to increase 737 Max production to 42 planes per month in October

The American aircraft manufacturer Boeing is considering increasing the production of 737 Max aircraft to 42 aircraft per month as early as October 2025. About writes Bloomberg, citing informed sources.

According to the agency's sources, in 2026, Boeing wants to enter new stages of production growth and eventually increase the rate of assembly to 53 aircraft per month.

This will be the highest figure since the pandemic and an important signal to investors that the company is trying to restore stability and regulatory confidence after numerous production problems.

Boeing currently produces 38 airplanes per month. This limit was set by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after an incident with an airplane in 2024.

To increase the pace, the company must convince the regulator that it is able to ensure quality and safety.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said he is confident of achieving the plan for 42 aircraft by the end of the year.

The FAA, in turn, reminded that "safety determines everything" and the regulator will continue to closely monitor Boeing's production.

Increasing production is critical for the company: it will help reduce debts and compete with European Airbus.

• On March 30, it became known that Boeing had begun develop a new narrow-body aircraft which will eventually replace the 737 MAX.
