Boeing's Commercial-Airplane Division Faces Hurdles in Recovery

Boeing’s commercial-airplane division is facing a setback in its recovery efforts due to the higher-than-anticipated cost of acquiring Spirit AeroSystems. The company now expects to turn a profit in 2027, rather than 2026, and is still dealing with pressure on the 787 program. Boeing’s production targets remain unchanged, but the company is repairing undelivered 737 MAX jets due to wiring damage. Reuters reported that the company still plans to raise 737 MAX production and deliver 787 aircraft in 2026.
