Boeing Co.’s new leader expects to restart production of the 737 Max within a few months -- even before the grounded jet wins approval to resume flying.
After halting output of the plane this month, Boeing and its suppliers will “slowly, steadily” return to normal rates beginning probably around April, Chief Executive Officer Dave Calhoun said Wednesday. The company notified customers this week that the Max isn’t likely to be cleared for service until the middle of this year.
