BOEING CO is expected to receive FAA certification for its MAX 7 this summer and will hike 737 production from 42 to 47 planes monthly by late August. The FAA raised the production cap to 42 jets in October, ending a 38-plane limit set in January 2024. Clearing certification backlogs and hitting production targets are essential for Boeing to reach its 52-plane monthly goal by early 2027.
