Gold prices edge lower; heading for weekly losses ahead of U.S.-Russia talks
Investing.com -- Boeing (NYSE:BA), the American aerospace giant, refuted a media report on Tuesday that suggested there were inconsistencies in the production of its 737 MAX aircraft. The company clarified that the production rate had not achieved 38 units per month at any point this year, nor had there been a recent decline in output.
Earlier, industry publication The Air Current had reported that the production of Boeing’s most popular jet had hit a peak of 38 planes in February, but subsequently dropped to a rate of 31 per month due to delays in the installation of wing systems. However, Boeing has firmly denied these claims.
The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling aircraft, and its production levels are closely monitored by industry insiders and investors. The recent report of production fluctuations had raised concerns, but Boeing’s denial aims to put those worries to rest.
Boeing’s statement on Tuesday is a direct response to the claims made by The Air Current. The aerospace company maintains that there has been no significant change in the production rate of the 737 MAX aircraft this year.
