Boeing to open fourth 737 MAX 'North Line' in Everett this summer, targeting >47 jets/month

Boeing will open a fourth 737 MAX final‑assembly line — the North Line — at its Everett complex this summer, the first time 737s will be built at the widebody plant. The line expands capacity, targeting over 47 aircraft per month and intended to support eventual MAX 10 production.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Adds meaningful production capacity: activating the Everett "North Line" is a structural step in Boeing’s output plan to raise MAX throughput, supporting targets above 47 aircraft per month and broader rate ambitions (see Boeing's broader output planning).

  • Reconfigures factory footprint and workforce: shifting narrowbody assembly into Everett requires new training, logistics and integration with widebody workstreams at the site, with implications for throughput and schedule. [source:c485ae25-1cbd-40cf-b9c7-7a324a1a0d1c]

  • Quality and delivery risk remains relevant: recent findings and rework on undelivered 737 MAX airframes show that production-capacity increases must be managed alongside inspection and rework burdens that can constrain deliveries. [source:93811321-2e8d-47aa-aa33-e90c2cb40914]
