Boeing has been building the planes in anticipation of sending them to airlines, but will halt production in January as the plane's grounding by the Federal Aviation Administration drags on.
The manufacturer has kept that pace throughout the year, producing an estimated 400 Maxes that can't be delivered to the airlines who ordered them — a growing financial drain.
The FAA has repeatedly said there is no timetable for the ungrounding, something agency administrator Steve Dickson reiterated last week during aDickson called the meeting because he was concerned Boeing was pursuing an unrealistic return-to-service schedule, according to an email sent to the House and Senate oversight committees.
In October, when the company thought approval for the plane to fly again was near, Boeing said it planned to gradually increase the 737 production rate after the ungrounding, from 42 per month to 57 per month by late 2020.
