Boeing Opens New 737 Max Line July 6, Targeting 52 Jets a Month in 2027

Summary
July 6 is the start date for Boeing’s new 737 Max final assembly line in Everett, Washington, CEO Kelly Ortberg said, adding capacity north of Seattle.
52 jets a month is the company’s next production target for next year, up from 47 now after Boeing raised output from 42 earlier in 2026.
FAA limits still cap 737 Max manufacturing after the January 2024 Alaska Airlines door-plug blowout triggered extended scrutiny of Boeing’s safety and quality processes.
The Everett line will begin with the 737 Max 10, which Boeing expects the FAA to certify before year-end, enabling first deliveries; the longer-term goal is 63 a month if suppliers can keep up.
