07:55 AM EDT, 03/20/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing ( BA ) has decided to keep monthly B737 jet production at 38 as the planemaker predicted cash outflow of $4 billion to $4.5 billion in Q1, Chief Financial Officer Brian West said Wednesday in a conference, according to media reports.

The company also plans to only accept a fully conforming fuselage from supplier Spirit AeroSystems ( SPR ) , reports said, following regulatory scrutiny of its manufacturing processes following the Jan. 5 incident involving a blowout in a 737 Max 9 plane mid-flight.
