Summary
Boeing is set to open a new 737 MAX final assembly line on July 6, a concrete step towards increasing production targets to potentially 70 jets per month. The company also delivered the first two 787-9 Dreamliners to Riyadh Air. However, a 787-9 suffered a nose gear collapse in Frankfurt, injuring crew and staff, prompting a German investigation. This operational expansion is a positive development following recent production ramp-up discussions, but the new probe adds to ongoing safety and quality concerns for Boeing. The outcome of the investigation will be important to watch.
