Key Takeaways:

Boeing has officially resumed production of its 737 Max aircraft at its Renton factory, with other Pacific Northwest programs set to follow.
The restart occurs over two months after production was halted due to a 53-day machinists strike, which concluded approximately a month prior.
Boeing spent several weeks preparing for the resumption, implementing safety management plans, conducting training, and ensuring readiness of parts and tools.
Pre-strike production targets for the 737 Max were 38 jets per month, but analysts now anticipate an average of 29 jets per month for 2025.
