Key Takeaways:

Boeing has resumed production of its 737 Max aircraft after a two-month halt caused by a 53-day machinists strike in the Pacific Northwest.
The company spent several weeks methodically preparing for the restart, including training, readying tools and parts, and implementing safety protocols.
Production of the 737 Max at the Renton factory has restarted, with Everett programs to follow, although analysts anticipate lower average production rates in 2025 compared to pre-strike goals.
