Boeing plans more cuts Boeing plans additional job cuts following the 16,000 positions it previously announced would be eliminated as the coronavirus pandemic continues to slash demand for air travel and new planes. "I truly wish the current market demand could support the size of our workforce," CEO David Calhoun said Tuesday in a note to employees. "Unfortunately, layoffs are a hard but necessary step to align to our new reality, preserve liquidity and position ourselves for the eventual return to growth." Calhoun didn't say how many more employees Boeing would cut. In April, the aircraft builder said it planned to cut 10% of its global workforce of 160,000. About 5,500 Boeing employees agreed earlier this year to a voluntary buyout. The company then laid off an additional 6,800 workers in May and cut production. In January, Boeing reported a loss of $636 million in 2019 compared with a profit of $10.46 billion in 2018 - its first annual loss in more than 20 years. |
