Boeing production problem spills over into summer travel

Boeing says that it has paused the delivery of some 737 Mac jets, because of parts that were installed incorrectly.

The CEO didn’t give the number of planes used in that calculation, but the number of seats typically in a mid-sized Max suggests that about 50 planes are expected to be delivered late.The situation is reminiscent of last year, when production flaws stopped Boeing from delivering bigger 787 planes, and airlines dropped some flights and routes.

Boeing disclosed last week that subcontractor Spirit AeroSystems used a "non-standard manufacturing process" on fittings where the tail is attached to the fuselage of most models of Max jets built since 2019. Boeing said then that the issue could cause delays in production and deliveries of a "significant number" of the planes.Boeing employee bought lottery ticket because it was at $747M, a nod to the aircraft. She won the jackpot.
