Boeing’s MAX jetliner production has fallen sharply in recent weeks as U.S. regulators step up factory checks and workers slow the assembly line outside Seattle to complete outstanding work
key supplier Spirit AeroSystems is limiting overtime and hiring as production declines due to lower output of 737 MAX jets, Spirit told Reuters on Friday.
“When I walk the shop floors things have slowed down,” said Cornell Beard, president of the Wichita, Kansas, union district which represents Spirit Aero workers. Analysts and Reuters interviews with suppliers show Boeing is largely continuing to take deliveries equivalent to a production rate of 38 jets a month, the cap imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration following the blowout, even though its monthly output is well below that level.
