The aircraft manufacturer Boeing is producing the model 737 Max According to insiders, it has fallen sharply in recent weeks. The reason for this is stricter controls at the factory by the US authorities, say industry insiders. In addition, the lines ran more slowly so that outstanding work on nearly finished machines could be completed. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has set a cap on Boeing of 38 new jets per month, after one in January 737 Max Due to an assembly error, part of the outer wall fell out in the air. According to insiders, the production rate even fell to single digits at the end of March. Boeing is also struggling with maintenance bottlenecks on some engines, meaning the planes are idle for months after they enter service. Just a few days ago, Boeing announced that CEO Dave Calhoun would be stepping down at the end of the year as a result of the problems. The decline in production is likely to have an impact on the entire aviation industry, as airlines will cut their flight schedules due to a lack of aircraft or extend existing leasing contracts to meet demand. European rival Airbus is also building fewer machines than planned. Currently there are around 50 jets a month A320neo-Family produces, 58 were targeted at the beginning of the year, according to industry circles. However, since Boeing had to significantly reduce production in order to convince the authorities that operations were running smoothly, Airbus expanded its lead in the market for these jets.
