Boeing Co added nearly 15,000 employees in 2022 and plans to hire another 10,000 workers this year, reversing the steep headcount reductions it made earlier this decade to preserve cash while the Covid-19 pandemic and 737 Max grounding flattened jet sales.
Boeing has said earlier that it handed over 69 jets in December — including 54 from its cash-cow 737 family — and recorded 250 gross orders. The performance gave Boeing 387 deliveries of the narrowbody jetliner family for the year, a dozen more than executives had predicted.
“As the airline industry expands its recovery, we are seeing strong demand across our product family,†said Stan Deal, Boeing’s commercial airplanes chief. “We will stay focused on driving stability within our
operations and the supply chain as we work to deliver
for our customers in 2023 and beyond.â€
