Key Takeaways:

Boeing has resumed production of its 737 Max aircraft after a two-month halt at its Pacific Northwest factories.
The production stoppage was caused by a 53-day strike involving over 30,000 machinists, which ended with a new contract agreement.
The company spent several weeks preparing for the restart, focusing on safety protocols, training, and ensuring parts and tools were ready.
While Boeing previously aimed for 38 737 Max jets per month, analysts now expect an average production rate of 29 jets per month in 2025 following the disruption.
