Boeing says it's about to start building the 737 Max plane again in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, even though it already has more planes than it can deliver

Boeing says it's about to start building the 737 Max plane again in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic

Boeing plans to resume assembly of the 737 Max, CEO Dave Calhoun said on Friday, five months after suspending manufacturing of the troubled jet.

Boeing has about 450 completed but undelivered planes in storage. When it announced January's assembly suspension, it said that it was running out of space to store them. The company did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment on where newly completed planes will be stored. The 737 Max, which was produced at a rate of 42 per month from April 2019 through January, will be ramped up at a slower rate when production resumes, the company said, gradually increasing to 31 per month during 2021.
