With demand for global air travel facing a long climb back from its worst decline in history, it is reasonable to ask how Airbus and Boeing can continue to churn out so many jets. Defying skeptics who have long predicted that cuts in output were inevitable, the two airframers are signaling that they instead plan to raise production rates even higher in 2011, moves that would help them replenish cash spent on troublesome aircraft development programs (p. 43).

Boeing is leaning toward upping production of its 777 widebody jet, a move that would at least partially roll back an 11-month decision to cut output in response to a severe downturn in the global airline industry. James Albaugh, CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), says Boeing will decide in April whether to build more 777s and indicated that a go-ahead was likely. “I think there’s a very good chance that we’ll raise the production rate on the 777,” he told reporters during a March 17 roundtable in Arlington, Va.
