Boeing is set to raise production of the 737 Max to 47 jets per month, with plans to increase that number to 52 jets per month early next year. The company, led by CEO Kelly Ortberg, has faced over $35 billion in losses from 2019 to 2024 but turned a profit of $2.2 billion last year, thanks in part to the sale of its subsidiary Jeppesen. This increase in production is seen as a crucial step in Boeing's ongoing turnaround, especially after the FAA lifted the cap on 737 output last October.
