Boeing is facing short-term delivery delays for some of its 737 MAX airplanes due to a “machining error” that damaged wires during production. While production continues at its current rate, the company expects these delays to impact first-quarter deliveries but anticipates meeting its year-end delivery targets. Boeing reassures that all current 737 MAX airplanes in service are safe to operate.
