Boeing’s Chief Financial Officer Jay Malave has signaled optimistic production prospects for 2026, projecting increased deliveries of 737 and 787 aircraft that should bolster the aerospace manufacturer’s cash flow recovery. Speaking December 2 at the UBS Global Industrials & Transportation Conference, Malave provided detailed insights into Boeing’s manufacturing roadmap and the timing between production rate adjustments and actual aircraft deliveries.
Production Rate Momentum Malave emphasized that Boeing’s 737 production ramp remains on schedule, despite acknowledging a temporary softness in November 2025 deliveries. “It takes a few months to take the production cadence and move that into output,” Malave explained, highlighting the inherent lag between manufacturing rate increases and delivery fulfillment. The CFO noted that once production systems stabilize at current rates, Boeing’s team begins positioning for the next rate increase, typically requiring a minimum six-month planning window.

The FAA advisory, issued in response to escalating US military activity in the southern Caribbean, cited “worsening security conditions and heightened military activity” affecting the Maiquetía Flight Information Region.

The Federal Aviation Administration has escalated warnings regarding Venezuelan airspace, issuing a formal notice to airmen (NOTAM) that will remain in effect through February 19, 2026. The advisory cites a deteriorating security environment marked by heightened military activity, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference, and potential threats to civil aircraft operating at all altitudes.
The timing of the FAA’s November 21 warning coincides with reported plans by senior US officials indicating the Trump administration intends to launch a new operational phase targeting Venezuela’s government in the coming days. According to these officials, the expanded effort may include covert activities alongside existing military deployments, representing a notable shift in Washington’s approach toward the Nicolás Maduro regime.
