Boeing Co. got a boost after Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun told Fox Business that the planemaker’s 737 Max assembly lines will rumble to life later this month.
The restart, flagged earlier this week by Boeing’s biggest supplier, will end a manufacturing shutdown that began in January amid a global grounding of the Max that began in March 2019 after two deadly crashes. The Max production pause sent a shudder through the U.S. economy as parts makers furloughed thousands of workers.
