Boeing HQ
Today’s key stories focus on delays and Boeing’s failed strategy for the middle of the market. With supply chain difficulties facing both companies, Airbus has done a better job at managing its difficulties than Boeing. But airlines continue to complain about aircraft shortfalls.
In other stories, Leonardo and its union have agreed, averting a four month plant shutdown for 787 fuselages. Financially, Boeing has had a hard landing, from which it has little time to improve if it wants to maintain investment grade status.
On the innovation front, Boeing signed a digital flight operations solution with Ryanair, and the company is looking at turning the F-15EX into an electronic attack aircraft to expand its market and capabilities.
