Summary
MAX 10 certification is expected “very soon,” Boeing said, putting a jet that accounts for about 30% of its backlog closer to delivery.
At 47 737s a month, the next production step still depends on stabilizing wing output in Renton and certifying and activating a new Everett line before Boeing can move to 52 a month.
CFM engine supply is currently adequate for near-term 737 plans, but Boeing said broader supply-chain, inventory and labor risks still need managing.
SPEEA strike avoidance remains a top priority because a work stoppage could disrupt both 777 certification and 737 production.
Boeing kept 2026 free-cash-flow guidance at $1 billion to $3 billion even as 787 growth is held back by engines and certification, and 777X testing could run into 2027.
