In recent days, the company managed to ensure new supplies of the specialized fasters, avoiding a slowdown in the production of airplanes in the USA. UU. Due to a fire in the plant of a key supplier. However, new shipments reached higher prices. If the problem arises again and cannot be solved, the scarcity of fasteners could result in a production stop of the Boeing 737 Max line, Reuters said reference to the sources.
In addition, the reduction in the supply of fasteners raises a broader threat to the entire aerospace industry. Some fasteners manufacturers are signing alternative supply contracts while increasing prices to cover the costs embedded with materials and labor. The forecasts suggest that the prices of certain specialized fasteners, who currently cost hundreds of dollars, each could increase in two -digit percentages.
China begins to return Boeing Airplanes previously
Meanwhile, two Boeing 737 Max planes ordered by a Chinese airline have returned to the United States last week. The first landed in Seattle on April 18, with the second next on April 20. The plane, painted in the Xiamen Airlines book of China, was transferred back to Boeing Field in Seattle after a reflection of China’s refutation.
This marks the second 737 model of Aircraft-Boeing best that China has returned. The plane had arrived at the Zhoushan completion less than a month before, where the final preparations for the service was waiting. Another 737 Max departed from Zhoushan on April 18, thought it was not clear which part began.
The increase in the growing confrontation of the United States-China rates raises a direct threat to the aviation sector. The price of a Boeing 737 Max, typically valued at $ 55 million, could more than double for Chinese buyers. Some executives of the airlines have already announced plans to delay the expansion of the fleet due to the reluctance to pay Trump’s rates.
