Boeing laid out the plan in the latest version of its master schedule for suppliers, which was reaffirmed by the planemaker in mid-September, the sources told Reuters on condition of anonymity because the document is not public.The schedule targets 737 production to reach 42 jets a month by December 2023, affirming statements made by Boeing Commercial Airplanes head Stan Deal to Bloomberg TV in June.
Before the 2019 grounding of the 737 MAX, Boeing was producing 52 737s a month on its way to a target of 57. "I would love to get to 60 deliveries and the market is there for it. There's no doubt about it," Calhoun said in a July earnings call.
