Boeing has once again found itself at the center of industry discussions by clarifying misconceptions regarding its 737 MAX production figures. In a statement released Tuesday, Boeing refuted media reports hinting at production disruptions. The company asserted that its monthly output for 737 MAX has never reached 38 aircraft, nor has there been a recent decline in production. This position stands in stark contrast to earlier reports by industry outlet The Air Current. Initially, The Air Current reported that in February the production rate for Boeing’s best-selling aircraft hit 38 units per month, only to later drop to 31 units due to delays in installing wing systems.

On Monday, Airbus initiated new discussions with several European nations concerning major contracts in the defense and space industries. This development comes amid growing European investments in aerospace and enhanced supply chain efficiencies for the company’s core aircraft manufacturing operations.
