The FAA has not made any decision on the production limit of the Boeing 737 MAX yet.

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States said on Monday that the agency has not yet made any decisions on whether to cancel the monthly production limit of 38 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that has been in place since early 2024, as well as how to oversee Boeing's production. "Progress is being made," said FAA Administrator Brian Bedford to reporters in Washington. "Progress may not be as fast as Boeing would like, but it is the fastest pace we can achieve within a reasonable range." In January 2024, an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 aircraft experienced an emergency in the air with four key bolts missing, shortly after which the FAA imposed unprecedented production limits. Since then, the FAA has increased its direct oversight of Boeing's production. Boeing declined to comment, but referenced comments made by CEO Kelly Ortberg in July. Ortberg said at the time, "We hope to apply to the FAA for approval to increase the number of aircraft produced per month to 42 in the coming months," and added that Boeing's key performance indicators continue to steadily improve.
