Boeing Admits It Will Miss 500-Jet 737 MAX Delivery Target As It Can’t Build Enough Wings

Boeing has confirmed it will fall short of its target of delivering around 500 737 MAX jets this year, as problems with wing production at its Renton, Washington, factory continue to limit output. The company is still struggling to stabilize production at 47 aircraft per month, with CEO Kelly Ortberg acknowledging that efforts to improve factory output are taking longer than expected.
