Boeing CEO Says 737 Max Production Stabilization Taking Longer Than Expected
Kelly Ortberg points to wing production bottleneck at Renton, Washington, factory as company works on a fix.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said the stabilization of 737 Max production is taking "a little bit longer" than the company had anticipated, according to a report by CNBC.
Ortberg attributed part of the delay to a hold-up in wing production at Boeing's factory in Renton, Washington, CNBC reported.
The Boeing chief executive said the company has plans in place to address the wing production issue, according to the report.
CNBC did not specify a timeline for when production is expected to stabilize or provide additional detail on the nature of the wing production hold-up.
Boeing has faced scrutiny over its manufacturing processes for the 737 Max in recent years, and production stability has been a closely watched metric for investors and regulators alike.
