Why Boeing Has Such A Rebound In 787 Dreamliner Production

Boeing 787 Dreamliner output has continued to rebound as demand continues to grow for the aircraft, and production capacity additions have been a key objective for Boeing. The manufacturer has a 1,001-unit Boeing 787 backlog with production slots fully sold out until 2030, reflecting a decades-long shortage of widebody aircraft availability as post-pandemic traffic growth forces supply to keep up with rapidly growing demand. Boeing has been quick to expand its site in North Charleston with a $1 billion program, duplicating its final assembly line capabilities and lifting potential output from today’s seven jets per month towards a 10 per month mark in 2026. Target rates of as high as 16 per month are expected by the end of the decade.
