Boeing to cut commercial airplane workforce as production targets slip — Boeing trims workforce

Boeing is reducing staffing in its commercial airplane business while trying to raise output and stabilize deliveries of key jet programs. The planned 5% cut comes as the company works through quality issues and slower-than-expected progress toward its 737 production goals.

Highlights

Boeing Commercial Airplanes will cut 5% of its 50,494-person workforce as of December 2025 to address production and quality challenges.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg stated the company will miss 2024 737 production and delivery targets, signaling ongoing operational pressures.
Boeing now targets producing 47 737 jets per month by early 2027, delayed from the previous goal of summer 2026, with shares trading slightly lower midday.

Workforce reduction amid production reset

As reported by Reuters, citing the Seattle Times, Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief Stephanie Pope told employees that the planemaker will trim 5% of its commercial airplane workforce.

The reduction comes as Boeing pushes to increase production, resolve quality snarls and ramp up deliveries of its 737 MAX and 787 jets after years of regulatory scrutiny and operational disruptions.

Boeing's commercial unit had 50,494 employees as of December 2025, according to the company's website.

Delivery pressure and market impact

Last month, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told analysts the company will miss its 737 production and jet delivery targets this year.

Boeing now expects to reach a 737 production rate of 47 jets per month in early 2027, after previously projecting that pace by summer 2026. Boeing shares are slightly lower in mid-day trading.
