Feb 20 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) is getting help from

Tesla CEO Elon Musk to get through the requirements of the

long-delayed Air Force One program, following complaints from

U.S. President Donald Trump, the planemaker's CEO Kelly Ortberg

said on Thursday.

Trump has said he was not happy with Boeing ( BA ) due to delays in

delivering Air Force One planes, adding his administration might

have to "do something else."

"Elon Musk is actually helping us a lot in working through

the requirements ...so that we can move faster and get the

president those airplanes delivered," Ortberg told analysts and

investors at the Barclays Industrial Select Conference.

Ortberg also said he intends to bring U.S.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and the Federal Aviation

Administration's interim administrator to Seattle where the

planemaker's strongest-selling 737 MAX jet is produced.

Ortberg said the supply chain for the 737 MAX is in good

shape as the U.S. planemaker aims to grow output of the model to

38 a month by mid-2025. However, Boeing's ( BA ) supply chain team is

working to assess the impact of a fire that hit a U.S. fastener

producer this month.
