In the wake of the January 2024 in-flight incident involving Alaska Airlines’ Boeing 737 MAX, the acting head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Chris Rocha, announced that the agency currently has no plans to lift the production restriction limiting Boeing $BA to manufacturing 38 units of the 737 MAX per month. This limit was implemented following the accident where a Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operated by Alaska Airlines was found missing four critical bolts.
