Boeing has ramped up hiring for its new 737 MAX North Line in Everett, posting job listings for first, second, and third shift manufacturing managers to staff the facility.[1][2] The line, delayed from mid-2024, is now set to activate this summer, boosting production capacity beyond 47 airplanes per month.[2]
This expansion complements three existing 737 MAX lines in Renton, with Everett’s North Line initially focusing on 737 MAX 8, 9, and 10 models.[2] The first aircraft from the line will undergo FAA conformity demonstrations to integrate under Boeing’s production certificate PC700.[2]
New hires will begin training in Renton before transferring to Everett, signaling Boeing’s push to scale 737 MAX output amid rising demand.[1] The North Line marks the first 737 production in Everett, enhancing operational flexibility across Puget Sound facilities.[2]
Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin welcomes the growth, as the site employs thousands and supports local aerospace jobs.[1] This move positions Boeing to meet airline backlogs and regain production momentum post-certification.[2]
