Boeing Co. shares jumped after the company unveiled plans to restart jetliner manufacturing in the Seattle area next week, ending a shutdown that began last month because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
About 27,000 people will return to final assembly lines for twin-aisle jets such as the 747, 777 and 787 Dreamliner, the company said in a statement Thursday. Boeing will also resume its work toward restarting production of the 737 Max, which was halted in January. The Max has been grounded for more than a year after two deadly crashes.
