Boeing to cut 5% of its commercial airplane workforce

FinanceInternationalCNBCNov 9, 2026, 12:47 PMAI summary

Boeing plans to cut about 5% of its commercial airplane workforce because its production ramp-up is moving slower than expected. Stephanie Pope, head of the commercial aircraft unit, said in a memo to staff that the cuts will come through a combination of attrition and layoffs, with notifications beginning in December. Pope said adjusting production schedules and reducing aircraft output leaves the company overstaffed. CEO Kelly Ortberg said he does not expect a significant increase in 737 Max output until the second half of 2027.
