Boeing Starts 737 MAX 10 Production at 4th Line on July 6 as Backlog Tops 4,830

Summary
July 6 will mark the first 737 MAX loaded onto Boeing’s new Everett North Line, with the initial aircraft set to be a MAX 10.
Everett becomes the first 737 assembly site outside Renton since the 1960s, a historic shift aimed at lifting output, stabilizing manufacturing and supporting rates of 47 jets a month.
The MAX 10 is central to that push: the 230-seat variant has about 1,400 customer commitments but still awaits certification, which Boeing expects by the end of 2026.
That added capacity matters because Boeing has roughly 4,830 unfilled 737 MAX orders and is relying on higher production to improve cash flow after more than $35 billion in losses from 2019 to 2024.
