Boeing Co.’s 737 Max will take four years to reach production levels originally targeted for 2019 even if the grounded jet resumes flying this summer, according to a supplier of parts for its airframe and engine.
Senior Plc, which counts Boeing as one of its biggest customers, said Monday that it will likely take until 2023 for the Max to reach a build rate of 57 planes per month, which had initially been planned for last year before two fatal crashes led to the model to be idled worldwide.
