It's been a great few years for the commercial-airplane business. But trade tensions, lower profits and the 737 MAX's grounding are threatening that growth.
PARIS—With the grounding of Boeing Co.’s 737 MAX airliner stretching into its fourth month, some suppliers are reconsidering their decision to keep making parts for the plane at full steam, as inventories swell and a timeline for recertifying the plane remains hazy.
That is starting to damp a yearslong boom in jetliner production that has supercharged profits across the industry. The heady demand for parts to make all those planes, though, also has strained supply lines, leading to shortages of things like engines and seats.
