Boeing and Airbus both said this week that they will ramp up the rate of production of their 787 (Boeing) and the A330 (Airbus).
Boeing has had to contend with manufacturing issues and delays on the 787 but the plane maker says they are on track to fix the issues and they expect to build 787s at a rate of 10 a month by the end of the year:
“Our customers are demanding our products like never before,” Jeff Klemann, vice president of the delivery center, said in a company statement. “As we build more airplanes at faster and faster rates, we also need a world-class facility to conduct our delivery operations.”
Airbus, on the other hand, has a plane that is quite ‘seasoned’ in the A330 and plans to up production of their mid-to-long range jetliner to 11 a month by the first part of 2014.
