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.
