On Wednesday, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg stated that the company is concentrating on improving safety rather than forcing workers to speed up production following a 2024 mid-air 737 MAX 9 disaster.
I’m not encouraging the team to go fast. “I’m forcing the team to do it right,” Ortberg said during a Senate Commerce Committee hearing, adding that he hoped the business could resume building 38 Boeing 737 MAX jets each month later this year and then exceed that, buthe would not commit to a specific date. Ortberg believes it will be sometime this year. He stated that while airlines are dissatisfied with delivery delays, they support the approach. “They know we’ve got to do this right.”
Lawmakers have been watching the firm since a January 2024 mid-air emergency with a new MAX 9 that was missing four essential fasteners raised new concerns about Boeing’s quality and safety lifestyle and federal supervision.
