The US head of the Federal Aviation Administration said yesterday the agency intends to conduct scenario-based planning, known as table-top exercises, with Boeing before it will consider lifting the 38-plane-per-month cap on 737 Max production.

The exercises will review potential issues Boeing may face if it boosts production and aim to ensure the planemaker maintains progress on quality, officials said.
