Boeing Says On Track For 737 MAX Production

Boeing said it remains on track to meet production targets set for the 737 MAX, following a report on industry concerns that slow output at supplier GKN could cause delays.

Boeing expects to roll out the first 737 MAX before the end of 2015, fly it in early 2016 and deliver it to customers from the third quarter of 2017.

Boeing is attempting to hit record production rates for the 737. It aims to build 52 per month by 2018 versus 42 currently.
