Boeing says it has resumed 767, 777 wide-body production
Dec 17, 2024 8:41 PM

WASHINGTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Boeing ( BA ) said late

on Tuesday it has resumed production of all airplane programs

that had been halted by a machinists' strike in the Pacific

Northwest.

The planemaker confirmed last week it restarted production

of its best-selling 737 MAX jetliner in early December - about a

month after the end of a seven-week strike by 33,000 factory

workers - and said it has now resumed wide-body programs in

Everett, Washington that were impacted.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope said in a

social media post on Tuesday the company had now resumed

production across its 737, 767, and 777/777X airplane programs.

"We have taken time to ensure all manufacturing teammates

are current on training and certifications, while positioning

inventory at the optimal levels for smooth production," she

added.

Last week, Boeing ( BA ) said it delivered just 13 commercial jets

in November, less than a quarter of the 56 jetliners it handed

over to customers 12 months earlier.

Deliveries were down from 14 in October, when most of the

company's aircraft production was shut down during a seven-week

strike by 33,000 factory workers that ended Nov. 5.

The head of the Federal Aviation Administration, Mike

Whitaker, told Reuters earlier this month he was pleased Boeing ( BA )

was slowly and safely resuming production. The FAA said it would

intensify oversight as Boeing ( BA ) resumed production.

Whitaker capped production at 38 737 MAX planes per month in

January after a door panel missing four key bolts flew off an

Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 in midair that month, exposing serious

safety issues at Boeing ( BA ). He plans another meeting with the

planemaker in January to discuss production.

Pope said employees have been using Boeing's ( BA ) Safety

Management System to identify and address potential issues and

ensure a safe and orderly restart.

"As we move forward, we will closely track our production

health performance indicators and focus on delivering safe,

high-quality airplanes on time to our customers," Pope said.
