KOMO via CNNBoeing is cutting its 737 Max production rate as the company works to return the plane to flight. "We have decided to temporarily move from a production rate of 52 airplanes per month to 42 airplanes per month starting in mid-April," CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a statement Friday. The Max came under scrutiny after it was involved in two fatal crashes: One involving Lion Air last October and another involving Ethiopian Airlines last month. All of Boeing's 737 Max planes were grounded after the crash in Ethiopia. Boeing is working to develop a software fix that will get the 371 grounded 737 Max jets back in the air.
