Mike Fleming, senior vice president of Airplane Programs and Customer Service of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, speaks during the opening of the company's new North Line assembly line, which will produce the 737 MAX aircraft, at the Boeing Everett Factory in Everett, Washington, on July 10, 2026. Boeing will mark another step in a marathon comeback July 10, when it commemorates expanded production of the 737 MAX, now an aircraft in heavy demand after earlier disasters tarnished the company's reputation. Boeing has big plans for the North Line, envisioning a production cadence comparable to that in Renton, 35 miles to the south, which until this week was the exclusive home of MAX assembly.
