Boeing: Latest News and Analysis
Boeing is the United States’ largest aerospace company and, with Airbus, one of the two builders of the world’s large commercial airliners. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, with commercial aircraft assembled in Renton and Everett, Washington, and North Charleston, South Carolina, Boeing also produces military aircraft, rotorcraft, satellites and weapons systems through Boeing Defense, Space & Security, and runs a large aftermarket business through Boeing Global Services. This page gathers every AirPro News story on the company, newest first.
What we watch
- Production and quality. Monthly 737 MAX and 787 output, the FAA’s oversight of Boeing’s factories, and progress on the quality and safety plan that followed the January 2024 Alaska Airlines door-plug event remain the central story for airlines waiting on deliveries.
- Certification. The 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10, and the 777-9 and 777-8F, have all run years behind their original schedules. Each certification milestone changes fleet plans across the industry.
- Defence programmes. The F-15EX, KC-46A tanker, P-8A Poseidon, T-7A trainer, MQ-25 Stingray and the F-47 next-generation fighter, alongside Boeing’s rotorcraft (Apache, Chinook, V-22).
- Supply chain. The reintegration of Spirit AeroSystems, fuselage and engine supply, and the health of the tier-2 and tier-3 suppliers that feed Boeing’s lines.
- Orders and the backlog. Large airline and lessor campaigns, the backlog by programme, and how delivery slots are being allocated among customers.
