Boeing is counting on the Trump administration to help unlock a long-awaited major order from China, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday, adding the U.S. planemaker has reached 'a good solution' with Chinese airlines addressing their concerns about access to critical spare parts. U.S. President Donald Trump has previously threatened to cut off that access, including spare engine parts, in his ongoing trade dispute with China. 'Without the administration's support, I don't think we'll see any near-term large orders out of China,' Ortberg said. 'It really is something that would be tied to the effort from the administration.'
Boeing and China have been in prolonged talks for a deal that industry sources say could include 500 737 MAX jets, plus dozens of widebody jets. It would be the country's first major Boeing order since 2017. Trump and Chinese President are scheduled to meet in May after a previously scheduled summit was postponed due to the Iran war. RISING 737 PRODUCTION The U.S. planemaker is increasing 737 production from 42 jets a month at its Renton, Washington, plant, to 47 per month this summer. The company plans to open a new production line, dubbed the North Line, in Everett, Washington, this summer. The company will focus on getting U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certification for the line, Ortberg said.
