B4 THE ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2020 Work resumes at Boeing following virus shutdown By DAVID KOENIG and GENE JOHNSON Associated Press SEATTLE — Boeing is restarting pro- duction this week of commercial airplanes in the Seattle area, putting about 27,000 people back to work after operations were halted because of the coronavirus. The aerospace giant says it is taking extra precautions and instituted comprehensive procedures at all of its sites to fi ght the spread of COVID-19. The new virus-slowing mea- sures will include the use of face masks and other protective equipment, hand-washing sites, staggered shift times and employee wellness checks Employees for the 737, 747, 767 and 777 airplanes were to return as early as Mon- day with most returning to work by Tuesday, offi cials said. Employees for the 787 pro- gram will return next Thursday and Friday. Boeing’s shutdown went into effect March 25 after workers tested positive for the virus and a longtime inspector for the company died. Boeing operates two commercial aviation production facilities in the Seattle area, one in Everett and another in Renton. Its Ever- ett facility, north of Seattle, produces air- planes including 777s, 787s, 767s and 747s – along with the KC-46A military refuel- ing and transport plane. Its plant in Renton, south of Seattle, produces the 737 line and military P-8s. Boeing spokesman Bernard Choi said the workers will start by getting briefed about changes on the factory fl oor, where the com- pany has put new social-distancing rules in place. Choi said some airlines and cargo carri- ers are still taking delivery of new planes, and Boeing expects some operators to accel- erate the retirement of older planes in place of newer, more fuel-effi cient ones during the pandemic.
