Overview
- Boeing is assembling seven 787s per month today, with a stated goal of reaching 10 per month in 2026.
- The program adds a parts preparation facility, a vertical fin paint building, new flight line stalls, and expanded Interiors Responsibility Center operations.
- About 1,000 new jobs are expected over five years, with roughly 2,500 construction workers engaged through a HITT Contracting and BE&K Building Group joint venture.
- Boeing cites more than 1,200 Dreamliners delivered and nearly 1,000 unfilled orders, plus additional options and letters of intent, as the demand foundation for the build-out.
- Executives say the expanded footprint positions the site for longer-term production rates in the teens, with the new final assembly building slated to come online in 2028.
