Boeing Sets 737 Output Target of 47 Jets a Month by Early Summer 2026

The move responds to a near-6,000-jet backlog that leaves 737 delivery slots scarce until 2030.

Overview

  • Boeing confirmed it will raise 737 production to 47 aircraft per month in late spring or early summer 2026, according to program chief Katie Ringgold.
  • The company is currently positioned around 37 aircraft per month while suppliers are producing at about 42, with some set to advance to 47 in the coming months.
  • A fourth 737 final-assembly line, known as the North Line, is planned around mid-2026, with hiring and training determining when it begins producing.
  • Boeing says Renton could theoretically reach 63 per month without pause days, but it plans to cap output at 47 as the supply chain and workforce rebuild.
  • The manufacturer is diversifying its supplier base, with India playing a significant role, including multi-site production of the 737 vertical fin.
