Boeing will ‘very shortly’ increase 737 MAX manufacturing to 38 per month.

According to a report by Reuters, Boeing (BA.N) anticipates raising the output of its best-selling 737 MAX to 38 aircraft per month “pretty soon,” although the company expects supply chain instability with each increase in production.

Boeing has received roughly twice as many orders for airplanes than it did previously, and due to the strong demand for current fleet supplies, Boeing may increase its manufacturing rate in the next months. The 31 jets are currently being produced each month till the end of the year. However, he cautioned that the supply chain still presents difficulties because fresh problems are frequently discovered.

Following COVID, Airbus, and Boeing experienced supply chain problems, but things are practically back to normal for the production of aircraft. CEOs and other C-suite executives as well as quality and engineering representatives from Boeing’s tier-one supply chain, which produces large aero-structures and sub-assemblies, are all participating in a supply chain quality review, according to Deal.

Boeing will display their aircraft at the 2023 Paris Air Show. Now, it might receive fresh orders for its wide- and narrow-body aircraft. Currently, it is showing its defense products, including the Boeing P8I, B737 Max, and B777-9 aircraft.

When Ratan Tata was denied entry to the airfield at the Aero India show, he waited

During our visit to Aero India 2019, we had the unexpected opportunity to see Ratan Tata at the event, which was a thrilling moment for us. However, there was a surprising hiccup when the security staff didn’t allow him to enter due to a lack of a security pass.

Despite this, he remained calm and patiently waited for about 20 minutes until a member of the Tata team brought him the required pass, after which he calmly proceeded inside. It was a humbling sight, showcasing his composed demeanor even in such situations.

Ratan Tata ji is not only a renowned industrialist but also a trained pilot, holding a pilot’s license. In 2007, he became the first Indian civilian to fly the F-16 Falcon during the Aero India show in Bangalore—a proud moment for the nation.

His passion for aviation extended beyond flying, as he played a key role in shaping India’s aerospace industry. Under his leadership, Tata ventured into manufacturing and maintaining aerospace components while upholding its legacy of quality. Notably, Tata’s collaboration with Airbus to develop and manufacture the C295 aircraft is a testament to its growing influence in the sector.
