WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Boeing 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 had 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.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope said in a social media post on Tuesday the company has “now resumed production across our 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.”
