Boeing weighs urgent plans to double 767 production in Everett for a big buyer
Boeing is urgently weighing plans to double 767 production in Everett, the Puget Sound Business Journal has learned.
The Chicago-based jetmaker (NYSE: BA) is asking its employees and suppliers whether they can deliver on the rate increase to win a big aircraft order, according to a Boeing document and three industry sources who requested anonymity to protect business relationships.
Boeing has not made a passenger version of its 767 for years. The production increase would offer a steady stream of new work to suppliers in the Puget Sound region.
Boeing spokesman Paul Bergman declined to comment.
