Conforme notícia oficial do site da Boeing, a empresa pretende aumentar ainda mais a produção do 777, saindo dos atuais 6 por mês (66 produzidos em 2010 até Novembro), para 7 no segundo semestre de 2011 e atingindo aprox. 8,3 aeronaves por mês no início de 2013.
Meu comentário: Com um backlog de mais de 250 aeronaves, a idéia da Boeing é conseguir liberar slots na produção para que companhias que precisem de wides antes de 2013 (por exemplo: compradoras do A350 e do 787-9) possam recebê-las em menor tempo, visando atender a demanda crescente e cobrir os "buracos" pelos atrasos do 787-8, 747-8 e A380 (além dos A350 e 787-9).

SEATTLE, Dec. 20, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) today announced its production rate for the 777 program will increase to 8.3 airplanes per month in the first quarter 2013. This is the second production increase announced for the program this year. In March the program announced it would increase production from five to seven airplanes per month beginning in mid-2011.
"In response to strong customer demand globally, we are increasing our yearly production to 100 777s," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Jim Albaugh. "The 777 is the twin-aisle market leader because of its superior operating economics, unmatched range and preference among travelers' needs."
The 777 has a large installed operator base, and a track record of proven performance including 1,163 orders, 907 deliveries and a backlog of more than 250 airplanes. Suppliers are prepared to support the rate increase.

The current production rate decision is not expected to have a material impact on 2010 financial results.
