Boeing Faces Extended Production Delays Following Strike

Work Stoppage Disrupts Manufacturing Schedules and Creates Backlog

Boeing warns it will take several weeks to resume full aircraft production after a two-month strike. The strike involved 33,000 machinists who ratified a new contract, which includes a 38% pay increase. Boeing’s Washington and Oregon production lines need time to restart.

 

Ongoing Delays Fuel Airline Frustration

Airlines are frustrated by delays. Ryanair now expects its 737 Max 10 deliveries in 2027, instead of 2026. American Airlines has no firm delivery date for the 737 Max 9 due to ongoing Boeing issues. CEO Robert Isom said he can’t rely on Boeing’s timeline.

 

737 Max Certification Delays Add to Backlog

Boeing is also facing delays in 737 Max model certifications. The Max 10, the largest version, hasn’t been certified yet. This adds to delays in delivering aircraft to airlines.

 

Limited Deliveries and New Orders Amid Setbacks

Despite the disruptions, Boeing received 63 new orders in October, including 40 from Avia Solutions Group. However, Boeing delivered only 14 aircraft in October, well below its usual output. The delivery slowdown impacts Boeing’s cash flow and financial stability.
