Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said on May 27 at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference that the company has passed the FAA's capstone review for the 737 MAX rate-47 production cap and is now running the Renton line at 47 jets per month, up from 42. Ortberg flagged a few months of stabilization at rate 47 before pushing toward 52 - and ultimately the long-stated ambition of 63 - as Boeing works through a record $695B backlog and Spirit AeroSystems integration.
