Plane Maker Targets Narrowbody Output Near Airbus Levels

Boeing is exploring plans to increase production of its 737 aircraft family to around 70 jets per month, a target that would approach Airbus’s goal for its A320neo family. The move, which is still in the early stages, could generate more cash for Boeing and potentially challenge Airbus’s lead in the narrowbody market. Boeing’s production plans are driven by a surge in demand for commercial jets following the Covid pandemic, with order books sold out well into the 2030s. The development was first reported by The Air Current.
