WICHITA, Kan. Spirit AeroSystems announced Thursday that it has reached an agreement with Boeing on the production rate of the 737 MAX. Under @SpiritAero www.spiritaero.com the agreement, Spirit will slowly resume production, increasing deliveries over the course of the year to a total of 216 MAX ships to be delivered to Boeing in 2020. Spirit does not plan to reach a production rate of 52 vessels per month by the end of 2022. The parties continue to negotiate other terms. Earlier agreements between Boeing and Spirit have recalled a cost-cutting program related to the Boeing 737 and prices of boeing 747 and 777 models. „This agreement further strengthens Boeing`s long-standing partnership with Spirit as it eliminates uncertainty for the next decade. The agreement sets prices and capital investments for a number of potential increases in the production rate for the 737 program. With the new agreement, we expect the price to exceed the cost of the 787 program.

We look forward to further expanding our relationship and look forward to future opportunities with our largest customer,“ said Tom Gentile, President and CEO of Spirit. „With this agreement, we are sticking to our goal of converting 7-9% of sales into free cash flow.“ The collective agreement is based on several assumptions, including Boeing`s expected production rate and the successful return to service of the 737 MAX. As previously announced, the 737 MAX contract agreement is a „demand agreement“ between Boeing and Spirit, and the tariff is subject to change at any time. Spirit said they would slowly resume production as part of the deal and increase deliveries later this year to a total of 216 Max ships delivered to Boeing in 2020. .
