Boeing's 737, 787 Production Ramps Taking Longer Than Expected -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/09/16 21:031703 ET - Boeing's production ramp of 737 MAX aircraft is "taking us a little bit longer than what I had anticipated," CEO Kelly Ortberg says at the Morgan Stanley Laguna Industrials Conference. "The area we're constrained right now is in our wings production," he says, adding that Boeing has plans to address the bottleneck. The company has hit its goal of producing 47 of the aircraft a month, but is working on stabilizing at that rate before moving on to a more ambitious target of 52 a month, Ortberg says. He adds that the production for 787 aircraft has taken longer than hoped, as engine delivery has bottlenecked deliveries. Boeing shares closed down 3.7% at $201.96. (elias.schisgall@wsj.com)
