Dive Brief:
Boeing CEO and President Kelly Ortberg announced on Monday that the plane manufacturer will invest $1 billion in its Wichita, Kansas, facilities over the next three years, according to a company LinkedIn post.
The funds will be used to upgrade factories, expand worker training and bolster the company’s manufacturing system in preparation to increase production rates, as well as deliver “safe, quality” planes to its customers, according to a fact sheet.
The investment came months after Boeing completed its $8.3 billion acquisition of former fuselage supplier Spirit AeroSystems in December 2025.
