Boeing handed over 14 airplanes in October and said it will be several weeks before production can fully resume.
Boeing said it will take weeks before it can fully restart factories after a more than seven-week machinist strike.
The manufacturer handed over 14 aircraft in October, the fewest since November 2020, during the pandemic and the tail end of a worldwide grounding of its bestselling 737 Max.are required to return to their factories no later than Tuesday, but getting factories humming again will take weeks, the manufacturer said.
As the workers return, Boeing has to assess potential hazards, restate machinist duties and safety requirements, and ensure that all training qualifications are current, a spokesman said. "It's much harder to turn this on than it is to turn it off," CEO Kelly Ortberg said during the company's quarterly call last month."So it's absolutely critical that we do this right."
The company is resuming production in Washington state and Oregon for the 737 Max, 767 and 777 programs, as well as military versions of its aircraft. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner production continued during the strike because those planes are made in a nonunion factory in South Carolina.Despite the strike pause, Boeing continued to sell dozens of aircraft in October, with 63 gross orders, two shy of September's total. Forty of them are 737 Max 8s for the Avia Solutions Group.
