March 7 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) is still taking

deliveries for 737 MAX jet engines produced by General Electric ( GE )

at the same rate as prior to its recent crisis, the

company's chief executive Lawrence Culp said on Thursday.

Culp said GE, which has a lucrative aerospace manufacturing

business, is not thinking of switching more of its production

capacity to Boeing ( BA ) rival Airbus. GE's relationship with Boeing ( BA )

has never been stronger, Culp said, speaking at a GE Aerospace

investor conference in New York.
