Boeing Commercial Airplanes unit to cut about 2,500 jobs

Reported on November 13, 2026, Boeing plans to cut about 5% of the workforce in its Commercial Airplanes unit, with an estimated 2,500 people affected, and notices are expected to begin being issued in December. The report said the direct cause of this adjustment is that the production ramp-up is slower than expected: 737 MAX monthly output is currently stable at about 47 aircraft, the company has postponed its significant production increase target to the second half of 2027, and it expects to be unable to meet this year's year-end delivery targets for the 737 MAX and 787. Current progress is that the layoff plan has been announced, notices will begin to be issued in December, and the specific impact of the postponed production increase and the missed delivery targets is still awaiting subsequent reporting.
