Boeing Commercial Airplanes to Cut Approximately 5% of Workforce

Boeing Commercial Airplanes plans to reduce its workforce by about 5%, equating to roughly 2,500 jobs, through a combination of attrition and involuntary layoffs. The decision, announced on November 9, 2026, stems from a slowdown in planned production increases for the 737 and 787 aircraft, leaving the division overstaffed. Layoff notifications are expected to begin in December.
