Airbus and Boeing plan to raise production rates of best-selling single-aisle planes by 25 percent to 50-52 a month in 2017-18 and executives at the Paris Airshow discussed the possibility of ramping up output toward 60, or even above. There is also concern over how long any higher production rates may last, although Airbus (AIR.PA) CEO Fabrice Bregier dismissed talk of a bubble.
