On Wednesday, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg stated that the company is concentrating on enhancing safety rather than forcing employees to increase production following a 2024 mid-air 737 MAX 9 disaster.
I’m not forcing the team to move quickly. “I’m pressuring the team to do it right,” Ortberg said during a Senate Commerce Committee hearing, adding that he hoped the business could resume building 38 Boeing 737 MAX jets each month later this year and then exceed that number, but did not commit to a specific date. Ortberg predicted that it will be sometime this year. He stated that airlines are dissatisfied with delivery delays but accept the approach. They know we’ve got to do this right.
Lawmakers have been scrutinising the firm after a January 2024 mid-air disaster involving a new MAX 9 lacking four essential bolts raised new concerns about Boeing’s quality and safety culture and regulatory oversight.
