Boeing will have five extra years to build its 767 freighters in its Everett plant thanks to a provision in the newly passed Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill.
Boeing won’t say what these extra years will mean for the aviation company beyond 2028, when it originally planned to shutter its 767F program because the plane doesn’t meet global aviation carbon emissions standards. Boeing could now sell the plane until 2033, but those planes would be out of compliance with international regulations and could only be flown in the United States.
Still, the company’s machinists and engineering unions last week hailed the extension as a win for workers as the FAA bill was passed by Congress and then signed by President Joe Biden.
