By Aaron Gregg Aaron Gregg Reporter covering the defense industry and government contractors. Email Bio Follow April 5 at 6:55 PM Boeing will slow production of its 737 Max commercial jets from 52 per month to 42, the company announced Friday.
Boeing is grappling with the fallout of two deadly plane crashes that killed 346 people in Indonesia and Ethiopia, as well as a growing body of evidence suggesting that equipment problems played a role in both tragedies.
Muilenburg framed the company’s decision as part of an effort to make its airplanes “as safe as any airplane ever to fly.” He said the company will work with plants to mitigate the financial impact of the production slowdown and work directly with aviation parts suppliers to minimize the business impact on them.
The committee is to be staffed by Boeing board members, including former U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff vice chairman Edmund Giambastiani; Boeing board member and biotechnology executive Robert Bradway; Duke Energy chief executive Lynn Good; and former Allstate chief executive Edward Liddy.The company has pushed back on the idea that there is something inherently flawed about how it develops airplanes, however.
