Boeing-Manager sees significant improvements in 737-MAX production
**Boeing's Troubled Aircraft Manufacturer Sees Significant Improvement in 737 MAX Production**Stephanie Pope, who has been responsible for Boeing's Civil Aircraft division since the beginning of the year, stated on Sunday at a panel before the upcoming Farnborough Airshow near London that Boeing had agreed on a approach to address issues with a bleed air system on the 737 MAX, which had significantly delayed the certification of the 737 MAX 7. Pope signaled that there should be a solution by 2025.
Boeing is facing safety issues, market share losses, and legal consequences. The rival Airbus is also in a crisis, which was exacerbated by the incident on January 5, 2024, when a window blew out on a 737 MAX operated by Alaska Airlines during the flight. Boeing is also dealing with other issues, including potential penalties related to two fatal crashes of 737 MAX aircraft, in which 346 people lost their lives.
Boeing CEO David Calhoun is set to retire at the end of 2024. When asked by journalists if she was interested in the job, Pope said she was currently fully focused on her current position.**
Pope mentioned that Boeing is working on a solution to the bleed air system issue on the 737 MAX, aiming for implementation by 2025, which could potentially improve the certification process. implementing thrust cooling improvements in the production line could further boost the efficiency and reliability of the 737 MAX, as suggested by the Boeing-Manager in charge of the project.
