Boeing sees bigger Q1 cash burn as 737 output cut

(Sharecast News) - Troubled US plane maker Boeing on Wednesday said it would burn more cash in the first quarter than expected as it slowed production of its 737 passenger model after a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines flight in January. CFO Brian West said Boeing's cash burn for the first three months of the year would be $4bn-$4.5bn "higher than we originally planned back in January."

He added that the company would make fewer than the maximum 38 737 aircraft allowed each month under a Federal Aviation Administration imposed limit.

"We're deliberately going to slow to get this right," West told a Bank of America conference. "We are the ones who made the decision to constrain rates on the 737 program...And we'll feel the impact of that over the next several months."
