Boeing 767, built in Everett, gets 5-year lifeline from Congress

EVERETT — Under new carbon emissions standards, Boeing would have been forced to cease production of its 767 Freighter in 2027.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s new fuel efficiency rules go into effect in 2028 and the freighter doesn’t meet the standards.

But Congress gave a lifeline to the twin-engine, wide-body airplane built in Everett.

As part of the FAA Reauthorization Act passed by Congress and signed into law last week by President Joe Biden, the 767 freighter received a five-year exemption from the new emissions standards.

This is all the Lazy B can do these days, hire lobbyists to give them business breaks unavailable to anyone else.
