Boeing has announced that it has resumed production on all aircraft projects that had been paused due to the mechanics strike in the USA's Pacific Northwest.
The company confirmed that it resumed production of the popular 737 MAX jetliners in early December, following the end of the seven-week strike involving 0.033 million factory workers.
In Everett, Washington, production of widebody aircraft, including the 767 and 777/777X models, has also resumed. Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope announced the resumption of production on Social Media, emphasizing the importance of ensuring production employees receive the latest training and certification. She also mentioned optimizing inventory levels for smooth production.
Last week, Boeing reported that it delivered only 13 commercial aircraft in November, a significant decrease compared to the 56 delivered in the same period last year. This decline occurred after production was halted during the strike.
As Boeing resumes production, the aviation giant is facing challenging times. Last month, the company announced layoffs affecting 0.017 million employees to stabilize its financial situation.
The layoffs, which account for 10% of Boeing's global workforce, are part of a broader global strategy to address financial difficulties, including unstable stock performance and production delays.
