Luftfahrt: Boeing baut weniger 737 Max als geplant – Aktie fällt deutlich

Boeing, the US aircraft manufacturer, is struggling to recover from a crisis at a slower pace than anticipated. The company's goal was to build 47 Boeing 737 Max aircraft per month during the summer, raising the number by five. However, Boeing's CEO Kelly Ortberg admitted in a CNBC interview that it would take until early 2027 to reach the intermediate target.

Boeing is also unlikely to achieve the 2018 level by 2029. Ortberg confirmed that Boeing is not falling behind in wing production, which contradicts their plan to deliver 500 commercial planes this year. "We are increasing production, but we are doing it right," he said. Prior to assuming his role, Boeing faced numerous quality issues due to overly ambitious production plans.

The slower pace of expansion is expected to result in a significantly lower operational cash flow for Boeing, with the company targeting $3 billion for 2027 and $6 billion for 2028. Analysts had predicted $5.6 billion and $9.6 billion, respectively. This setback has negatively impacted Boeing's stock price, as it fell by over nine percent to $171, the lowest level in nearly one and a half years.
