Boeing Co. is suspending production at its 787 Dreamliner
factory in North Charleston, S.C., adding the plant to a list of
idled operations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Chicago-based aerospace giant said the suspension would
commence Wednesday and continue "until further notice." Employees
who can't work remotely will get 10 working days of paid leave.
Boeing said Sunday it would extend indefinitely an earlier
factory halt in the Seattle area, where it also produces other
passenger jets. It has also idled a military aircraft factory near
Philadelphia.
