The FAA said it would intensify oversight as Boeing resumed production. Whitaker capped production at 38 737 MAX planes per month in January after a door panel missing four key bolts flew off an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 in midair that month, exposing serious safety issues at Boeing. He plans another meeting with the planemaker in January to discuss production. Pope said employees have been using Boeing's Safety Management System to identify and address potential issues and ensure a safe and orderly restart. "As we move forward, we will closely track our production health performance indicators and focus on delivering safe, high-quality airplanes on time to our customers," Pope said.
