Boeing: suspends 787 operations in South Carolina
(CercleFinance.com) - Boeing said it will suspend all operations at its 787 assembly plant in South Carolina until further notice, due to the spread of the Covid-19 across the state.
During the suspension, the planemaker will continue to conduct enhanced cleaning activities at the site and monitor its supply chain as the situation evolves, it said.
Employees who cannot work remotely will receive paid leave for 10 working days of the suspension, and may then use a combination of available paid time off benefits or file for emergency state unemployment benefits, Boeing said.
Its final assembly and delivery facility in South Carolina fabricates and installs systems for fuselage sections of the 787 Dreamliner.
When the suspension is lifted, the 787 program will take an orderly approach to restarting production with a particular focus on safety, Boeing said.
