(Reuters) - Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg said Thursday that the captain could increase production of its best-selling 737 Max Jets to 42 per month.

Alterberg said at the Bernstein strategic decision-making meeting that he hopes he will produce at a price of 47 per month by the end of 2025, and he corrects that, he hopes the company wants the company to work with regulators by the end of the year to improve that level, but he hopes the company will work with regulators or else he hopes to rise 5% at the Bernstein strategic decision-making meeting.

Boeing is currently trying to produce at a steady pace of 38 poles per month, in an air accident, which the Federal Aviation Administration has restricted in 2024 to curate the manufacturer's safety and production quality plans.

He said that after the FAA approved Boeing to increase to 42 per month, "our plan to subsequent interest rates rise," it is usually added to five aircraft a month, at least six months apart.

Ortberg has previously stressed that production must be stable before any speed is increased.

Alterberg said the 737 program's production defects fell by 30%. “In fact, each of our customers reported higher quality aircraft at delivery.”

Increased production is crucial to regaining cash back positively. The company burned out with $2.3 billion in cash in the first quarter.

"I think the financial results will follow production performance ... I think we need to think that way," Alterberg said.

Key Tests

He said the company is FAA certified to the smallest and largest largest variant.

Part of the reason for the maximum 7 and maximum 10 is due to concerns about engine deicing systems. He said the company should complete important tests of the repair procedure by July to prove the aircraft by the end of the year.

Boeing's backlog includes nearly 1,200 orders with the largest orders of 737 and the largest orders of 7.

Alterberg also said that Chinese airlines will resume delivery of aircraft in June. China has stopped deliveries in April in retaliation for the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

Boeing expects the impact of tariffs to be less than $500 million, although it has not been specified as sales or profits. Alterberg said most of the impact would come from Boeing’s tariffs would have to pay for foreign-made parts that were installed on planes delivered to American Airlines and lessors.

A Boeing spokesman told Reuters that the company is increasing its 787 production from five per month to seven months, recently receiving approval from the FAA.

The company is following 10 relocations a month since then, Alterberg said at the meeting.

He admitted that even if production increases, some completed 787 people are still waiting for delivery due to delays in obtaining new passenger seat design certification. Alterberg said he hopes the issue will continue by the end of the year.
