- Boeing capped 737 MAX production at 38 planes per month, invested in quality controls, restructured supplier relationships, and reacquired Spirit AeroSystems to stabilize operations.
- In Q1 2025, Boeing boosted aircraft deliveries by 56% to 130 units and gross orders by 84%, signaling improved execution and regained customer demand according to Alderman & Company.
- The order strengthens Boeing’s long-haul market position, supports about 400,000 jobs, fuels investor confidence, and could gradually benefit middle-market suppliers including those near Spokane.
