WASHINGTON: The manufacture said Boeing will temporarily halt production of its troubled 737 Max airliner in January.
Production of the jet had continued despite the model being grounded for nine months after two deadly crashes.
Boeing had been hoping to have the aircraft back in the air by the end of this year.
But US regulators made it clear that the planes would not be certified to return to the skies that quickly.
More than 300 people died when two 737 Max aircraft crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia after reported problems with a new feature.
Boeing, based in Seattle, Washington is one of the US’s largest exporters.
