Boeing resumes suspended operations

Boeing will resume all commercial airplanes production in a phased approach at its Puget Sound region facilities next week, after suspending operations last month in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Approximately 27 000 people will return to production of the 747, 767, 777 and 787 programmes. The 737 programme will restart production of the 737 MAX. Boeing South Carolina remains suspended while the company has restarted mostly defence production operations in the region with approximately 2 500 people.
