Boeing has initiated a global workforce reduction, resulting in the layoff of approximately 150 to 180 employees at its Boeing India Engineering Technology Center (BIETC) in Bengaluru. This move is part of a broader strategy to reduce the company's global workforce by 10%, equating to around 17,000 positions, amid financial challenges and production issues with its 737 MAX aircraft. Despite these layoffs, India remains pivotal to Boeing's operations, with nearly 6,500 employees based at BIETC facilities in Bengaluru and Chennai. The company emphasizes that the layoffs have been strategically implemented to minimize disruption to customers and maintain safety and quality standards. (PC: News18 & Boeing)
