Boeing Co has started delivering reworked 737 jets from inventory to customers after a manufacturing glitch forced a brief halt, the company said on Thursday, adding it will be 'disciplined' in setting jet prices during the current boom.

REUTERS/Lindsey Wassonhas started delivering reworked 737 jets from inventory to customers after a manufacturing glitch forced a brief halt, the company said on Thursday, adding it will be "disciplined" in setting jet prices during the current boom.
The resumption could help the planemaker achieve the goal of 400-450 deliveries of the jet this year, a target closely watched by investors as the company looks to recover from successive crises caused by two fatal crashes and the pandemic. "We still expect the first half of the year to be about 30 per month and the back half of about 40 per month," CFO Brian West said, referring to deliveries, at a conference organized by Wolfe Research.
Boeing was forced to halt deliveries of some 737s earlier this year due to improperly installed brackets -- which connect the vertical tail with the fuselage made by Spirit AeroSystemsSome analysts had expected the halt to delay Boeing's plans for a 737 MAX production ramp up to 38 per month from 31 currently."I don't know exactly when, but that is in our game plan," he added.
Meanwhile, West said the top end of Boeing's $3 billion to $5 billion free cash flow forecast was a "bit pressured," in part due to supply-chain problems at its ailing defense business, even as the planemaker maintained that goal.West said the current environment was "pretty good for price realization" and that Boeing would be "disciplined" in setting prices.
