Dec. 20, 2021, © Leeham News: To say that last two years have been challenging for Boeing is an understatement.

But for the first time in a long time, officials appear optimistic that the worst is behind them. This is not to say that 2022 will be a cakewalk.

• Boeing is slowly clearing the inventory of 450 737 MAXes produced during the grounding. New airplane production rates are slowing ramping up.
• China’s recertification of the MAX appears around the corner.
• Deliveries of the 787 to restart in a few months.
• Widebody recovery still a challenge.
