Key Takeaways:

Boeing has officially resumed production of its 737 Max aircraft at its Pacific Northwest factories after a halt of over two months.
The production stoppage was a result of a 53-day machinists' strike by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union, which ended approximately a month prior to the restart.
Boeing spent several weeks preparing for the resumption of production, focusing on training, ensuring parts and tools were ready, and mitigating potential risks.
Prior to the strike, Boeing aimed to produce 38 737 Max jets per month, but analysts now anticipate an average rate of 29 per month in 2025.
