Aircraft maker Boeing on Wednesday said that clean fuselage supplies from its vendor Spirit AeroSystems will commence ‘imminently’ allowing it to step up production of the 737 Max aircraft, even as buyers, including Air India and Akasa Air, would have to wait longer for deliveries.
More than two-thirds of Boeing’s finished inventory comprising 225 737 Max airplanes will require fuselage rework, leading to aircraft inventory piling up in the on-going quarter, Brian West, chief financial officer and executive vice president – finance, The Boeing Co, said in an analyst call on Wednesday.
