Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) is reportedly preparing to accelerate output of its 737 Max aircraft as soon as October, according to Bloomberg sources familiar with the matter.
Suppliers have been briefed on the planned increase, which could see production rise to as many as 53 jets per month by next year, the report added. Boeing is seeking the necessary approvals from U.S. authorities to implement the expansion.
Bloomberg also noted that the planemaker aims to further raise its production rate in April 2026 and again later that year, ultimately targeting 53 jets per month by the end of 2026.
The planned output increase follows signals from Boeing earlier this year and coincides with a surge in international orders. Airlines in China, Uzbekistan, and Turkey have collectively placed orders for dozens of planes over the past two months, most of them from the 737 line.
U.S. officials reportedly highlighted a significant Chinese order for Boeing during trade discussions in September, though no formal announcement has been made. Trade talks with other countries are also believed to focus on securing additional Boeing orders as part of Washington’s broader push to boost domestic manufacturing and exports.
