Southwest and American are among the airlines expecting new Max aircraft this year.
An aerial view of the engines and fuselage of an unpainted Boeing 737 MAX airplane parked in storage at King County International Airport-Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington, June 1, 2022.'s warning that a production quality problem will delay deliveries of its best-selling 737 Max is another headache for airlines clamoring for new planes to handle a rebound in air travel, just ahead of the peak season.
Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will likely comment on the issue during the company's annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday. Boeing disclosed the issue just weeks after an executive said it was gearing up to increase output of the jets from the current rate of 31 a month. "It doesn't sound like it is going to be a terribly invasive fix, but on the other hand I think everyone's a bit spooked because of recent experience," said Richard Aboulafia, managing director of AeroDynamics Advisory., which operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, said it discussing the affects of the problem with the manufacturer.
CEO Bob Jordan said on an earnings call in January that the airline expects roughly 90 Max planes this year, lowering its forecast from 100 "in light of recent discussions with Boeing and continued challenges in supply chain."said it is also discussing the problem with Boeing. The airline has 88 Max aircraft on order, according to its 2022 report.
