Boeing sees significant improvement in 737 MAX factory after safety crisis
LONDON -Boeing is seeing a significant improvement in production flow at its 737 MAX factory, its new commercial planes chief said on Sunday, as the U.S. planemaker battles to overcome a safety crisis."This isn't minor change. This is transformational change," she said in her first remarks to media since being appointed earlier this year.
The company is seeing a"significant improvement in the flow of our 737 factory," Pope said, while acknowledging that Boeing has disappointed airline customers.The Federal Aviation Administration in January took the unprecedented step of barring Boeing from increasing production beyond 38 MAX planes per month until it is satisfied with the planemaker's quality and manufacturing improvements.
Pope became CEO of Boeing's commercial division as part of a broader management shakeup that will see CEO David Calhoun stepping down by year's end. She reiterated that the company expects to bring MAX production back to a rate of around 38 a month by the end of 2024.
