The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it has not made any decision on lifting the current production cap of 38 Boeing 737 MAX jets per month, a limit imposed in early 2024 after a mid-air incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told reporters in Washington that while Boeing has made progress, the agency is moving carefully.
“It may not be as fast perhaps as Boeing would like but it is as fast as we can reasonably move through the process,” Bedford said, according to Reuters.
The cap was put in place after a new Alaska Airlines aircraft was found to be missing four critical bolts during an emergency in January. Since then, the FAA has maintained direct in-person oversight of Boeing’s production.
