Boeing to Cut 5% of Commercial Aircraft Workforce Amid Production Delays
Boeing plans to cut about 5% of its commercial airplane workforce through a mix of layoffs and attrition, with notifications expected to begin in December. The reduction follows delays in ramping up production of the 737 MAX and other aircraft, as the company adjusts schedules to allow factories and suppliers more time to stabilize operations. CEO Kelly Ortberg acknowledged the company will miss 2026 production and delivery targets, pushing the 737 MAX output increase to mid-2027, which delays Boeing's financial recovery plans.
