China says Nvidia broke competition rules, extends probe; stock off lows
Investing.com -- The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not made any decisions about lifting the 38 plane per month production cap on Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft that has been in place since early 2024, according to FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford.
Speaking after an event in Washington on Monday, Bedford said that while "progress is being made," it "may not be as fast perhaps as Boeing would like."
The FAA administrator explained that he is encouraged by the progress but is waiting for data to answer key questions before making any changes to the production cap or Boeing oversight procedures.
Bedford emphasized that any decision to modify the production limits would follow a "bottom-up process" where the "front-line FAA team" would make recommendations "whether they feel like we’ve reached some of the milestones that would warrant any kind of change."
He noted that "none of those recommendations have come up yet" from the FAA teams monitoring Boeing’s operations.
