PARIS/WASHINGTON - Boeing and suppliers are looking at scenarios including a slowdown in production of the 737 MAX if the plane’s grounding in the wake of two accidents lasts for a number of months, as many analysts expect, a person familiar with the process said.
Boeing assembles 52 737-family aircraft per month and its newest version, the MAX, represents the lion’s share of this production, although Boeing has declined to give exact numbers.Shares in Boeing Co fell around one percent, before retracing part of their losses against a slightly firmer market. Boeing faces logistical issues in finding places to park the growing number of grounded 737 MAX planes as well as being responsible for all their maintenance costs since it has been unable to deliver the jets to customers, two other people briefed on the situation said.
