The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the increase of production of the Boeing 737 MAX to 42 aircraft per month, after nearly two years during which production was limited to 38 units due to safety issues.

Boeing has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to increase production of the 737 MAX aircraft, after production was limited in January 2024 due to a serious incident on an Alaska Airlines flight.

Investigations revealed deficiencies in production and quality control. After a series of additional checks that confirmed the safety of the production process, the FAA authorized the lifting of production restrictions.

Boeing has raw material stocks worth 11 billion dollars, but has debts of 53 billion dollars and does not expect to return to profit until 2026.

At the same time, the FAA has proposed a fine of 3.1 million dollars for safety violations and has referred the case to the U.S. Department of Justice for a criminal investigation.
