Boeing Co. has told its biggest supplier to freeze a recently restarted production of parts for the 737 MAX to prevent creating a glut of new jets for airlines adjusting to the slump in demand amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc, which makes the fuselage and other parts for the MAX, said late Wednesday it had been asked by Boeing to halt efforts on four MAX jets and avoid starting work on 16 more planes.
