Boeing Restarts 767 and 777 Production After Seven-Week Strike

The aerospace giant resumes manufacturing in Washington state factories following a lengthy machinists' strike and ongoing quality control challenges.

Boeing has restarted production of its 767 and 777/777X models at its Pacific Northwest factories after a seven-week machinists' strike involving 33,000 workers.
The company had already resumed production of its best-selling 737 MAX earlier in December, prioritizing workforce training and inventory alignment for a smooth restart.
The strike, which ended with a new contract providing a 38% wage increase, significantly disrupted production and reduced November aircraft deliveries to their lowest in four years.
Boeing continues to face scrutiny over safety and quality control issues, including a January midair incident and past 737 MAX crashes that have impacted its reputation and operations.
The Federal Aviation Administration is increasing oversight as Boeing works to stabilize its production pipeline and address a backlog of over 5,400 commercial aircraft orders.
