Boeing to Cut 141 Jobs in Florida as Financial Struggles Continue

The aerospace giant cites financial challenges and a strategic workforce adjustment, with layoffs set to begin in January 2025.

Boeing will lay off 141 workers across multiple Florida locations, including 26 at Kennedy Space Center, starting January 17, 2025.
The layoffs are part of a broader plan to reduce Boeing's global workforce by 10%, announced in October to address financial difficulties and operational challenges.
Boeing's financial struggles include $6.17 billion in losses in Q3 2024, ongoing issues with the Starliner spacecraft, and the aftermath of a machinists strike that disrupted production.
The Starliner program, facing delays and technical setbacks, has raised questions about its future, with NASA pushing its next potential mission to late 2025.
Affected employees will receive severance pay, subsidized healthcare for three months, and job transition support, in compliance with the WARN Act.
