The ailing US aviation giant Boeing plans to resume production of its long-haul jet 787 "Dreamliner", which was stopped due to the corona crisis.
North Charleston (dpa) - Boeing plans to restart production for its long-haul jet 787 "Dreamliner". Operations at the plants in the state of South Carolina will start again next weekend, the company said.
Boeing temporarily suspended production on April 8 due to the pandemic. Various security measures have now been implemented, the company said.
The announcement was well received by investors, and the stock turned positive after the exchange. Last week, Boeing had started gradually ramping up production at its factories in the Puget Sound region near Seattle, Washington. However, due to a production stop for the 737 Max that has been in effect since January and is banned worldwide after two plane crashes, the production of the Airbus arch rival will initially remain severely restricted.
