Virgin plans to cut a third of its workforce and ditch its widebody planes to focus on being a domestic and short-haul carrier

Boeing is facing another manufacturing problem that is slowing down deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner. The production problems add to pandemic-related travel restrictions that have slowed deliveries by Boeing and Airbus SE this year, pressuring their finances as customers typically pay the bulk of an aircraft’s price on receipt of the plane.

Production problems at a Boeing Co. 787 Dreamliner factory have prompted air-safety regulators to review quality-control lapses potentially stretching back almost a decade, according to an internal government memo and people familiar with the matter.

Boeing said it has notified the Federal Aviation Administration and is conducting a review into the cause of the problem

Boeing Co said on Friday it is developing a hand-held wand that emits ultraviolet light to neutralize bacteria and viruses, part of a suite of methods to disinfect flight deck surfaces and controls, as well as surfaces throughout the cabin.

Boeing Co won its first order for the grounded 737 MAX aircraft this year, after Poland’s Enter Air SA agreed to buy up to four variants of the jet, the U.S. planemaker said on Wednesday.

Boeing Co. will offer its employees a second round of buyouts, the aviation giant said Monday.

 The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal probe into whether NASA's former head of human spaceflight gave Boeing Co improper guidance during a lucrative lunar-lander contract competition, two people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

The European Union said Thursday that the Trump administration’s decision to maintain 15% tariffs on Airbus aircraft and 25% tariffs on other European goods did not worsen the now 16-year long trade dispute with Boeing, as both sides seek to put on end to over a decade of political grandstanding.

The federal government on Wednesday said it would maintain 15% tariffs on Airbus aircraft and 25% tariffs on other European goods

Boeing has lost more than 800 net orders so far this year.

It turns out some parts of the airline industry aren’t as modern as one would think. 

Sales in the commercial airplanes business, Boeing's largest, sank 65 percent to $1.8 billion as the planemaker delivered just 20 aircraft, less than a third of the total a year earlier.

Stretching out the development opens up fresh risks for Boeing.

The FAA issued the directive after inspectors found compromised air check valves when bringing aircraft out of storage.

The crisis has cost Boeing more than $18 billion, slashed production and hobbled its supply chain, with criminal and congressional investigations still ongoing.

The 747 was considered the 'queen of the skies' during its 50 year history

Damage done by the jet’s grounding and the coronavirus crisis continue to mount.

The Air Force has given Boeing nearly $1.2 billion for its first delivery order of eight F-15EXs as well as for support and one-time, upfront engineering costs.
