Boeing is preparing to ramp up production of its 737 Max aircraft starting this October, according to reports from Bloomberg citing sources familiar with the company’s plans.

The move comes amid a wave of international orders and signals renewed momentum for the U.S. aerospace giant, as it seeks approval from the U.S. government to proceed with the expansion.

The company has reportedly begun guiding suppliers for the production increase, with projections indicating output could reach as high as 53 jets per month by the end of 2026. 

Further production hikes are expected in April 2026 and again later in the year, as Boeing responds to rising demand from global carriers. Over the past two months, airlines in China, Uzbekistan, and Turkey have placed substantial orders, many of which are for the 737 Max series.

The production boost was first hinted at earlier this year and reflects Boeing’s strategy to capitalize on the resurgence of international travel and fleet modernization efforts. The 737 Max, which faced grounding and scrutiny in previous years, has since undergone extensive safety reviews and is now regaining favor among major airlines.

Industry analysts view the planned increase as a positive signal for Boeing’s recovery and a potential stabilizer for its supply chain, which has faced challenges in recent years.

The company’s Renton, Washington facility remains central to the 737 Max program, with expanded output expected to support both domestic and international deliveries.
