Ryanair is confident that Boeing will ramp up its production of 737 MAX jets to 38 per month this summer and will be allowed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to then increase that to 42,

"That team has done a great job of improving the overall performance and quality of the fuselages," Boeing's CEO said of Wichita-based Spirit AeroSystems.

Indian low-cost airline SpiceJet is to restore its grounded Boeing 737 MAX fleet to service after signing a crucial engine maintenance deal.

Boeing Co. Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg said he’s optimistic the company can return to a closely watched production target for its all-important 737 airliner this year, a key milestone to turning a corner after reporting its the second-worst annual loss in its history.

The original BBJ-737 was designed to accommodate 19 passengers, but various versions with up to 30 passenger capacity were also released. The aircraft comes equipped with standard winglets, which offer a 7% reduction in lift-induced drag and a 5% increase in operational range.

Ryanair ( RYAAY) ( OTCPK:RYAOF) Chief Executive Michael O’Leary estimates that plane maker Boeing ( NYSE: BA) will be able to lift output of its 737 Max jetliners to 38 a month by the end of summer and possibly to 42 by October if aviation authorities approve, Reuters reported Monday.

The smallest of these is the Boeing 737 MAX 7, which has yet to enter service and is still awaiting certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The jet is designed to replace the earlier Boeing 737-700,

Boeing is seeking temporary regulatory exemptions for a stall-management yaw damper (SMYD) system on the 737 Max 7 and Max 10, saying a classification change left it unable to demonstrate that the systems meet airworthiness standards.

Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority suspends Max Air’s domestic flights for three months after a Boeing 737-400 suffered a nose gear collapse while landing at KAN

President Donald Trump's nominee to head the U.S. Transportation Department said he will keep in place a cap on production of Boeing 737 MAX planes put in place after a mid-air panel blowout last year until he is satisfied it can be safely raised.

The B737 MAX model forms the bulwark of SpiceJet’s plans for revival, which includes sorting out litigations against it, paying up where needed and getting fuel-efficient aircraft like the B737 MAX which will help it fly longer distances to high-demand destinations like Riyadh and Jeddah without any operational restrictions.

Nigerian carrier Max Air is suspending domestic operations for three months, following the landing incident at Kano involving a Boeing 737-400. The carrier states that the 90-day suspension - from 31 January - is a "pro-active step" which will enable it to conduct an "internal operational evaluation".
