Boeing plans to cut 5% of commercial airplane workforce as production ramp-up slows
Reduction planned through attrition and layoffs; Ortberg says significant 737 Max ramp-up not expected until second half of 2027
Boeing said Monday it plans to cut 5 per cent of its commercial airplane workforce, citing a slower-than-expected production ramp-up. Stephanie Pope, head of the commercial aircraft unit, said in a memo to staff that the reduction would come through a combination of attrition and involuntary layoffs, with notifications beginning in December.
