Boeing Cleared to Boost 737 MAX, 787 Production; Denies New Jet Plans
Boeing has received approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to increase production of its 737 MAX and 787 models. The company aims to boost cash flow by ramping up output, but must maintain safety standards. Boeing plans to increase production to 42 jets per month for the 737 MAX starting October 2025.
In late September 2025, the FAA granted Boeing approval to resume independent certification for the production of the 737 MAX and 787 models. This approval allows Boeing to conduct safety checks independently for new aircraft, a responsibility it had lost after previous incidents.
Boeing plans to sustain this increased production rate for six months before discussing further increases with the FAA. The company is considering additional production rate increases in April 2025 and late 2026, potentially reaching around 53 jets per month by the end of 2026. However, the FAA will oversee Boeing's production processes to ensure safety during the production hike.
Contrary to a Wall Street Journal report on September 30, 2025, Boeing has denied plans to develop a new single-aisle aircraft to replace the 737 MAX.
Boeing's production cap for the 737 MAX was previously set at 38 jets per month by the FAA in early 2024 following an incident on January 5, 2024. With the recent approval, Boeing can now increase production to 42 jets per month, a significant step towards improving its cash flow. The FAA's oversight will ensure that safety is not compromised during this production increase.
