A new supply agreement between Spirit and Boeing anticipates fuselage deliveries reaching 52 per month in late 2022.

Spirit AeroSystems has reached an agreement with Boeing calling for the Wichita-based supplier to restart production of 737 Max fuselages “slowly” and accelerate deliveries throughout the year to reach a total of 216 shipsets in 2020, Spirit announced on Thursday.  While the parties continue to negotiate other terms, Spirit said it does not expect to achieve a production rate of 52 shipsets per month until late 2022.
