The change also gains momentum as Indian airlines such as Tata Group-owned Air India recently announced they will lease 30 Boeing and Airbus aircraft and expand their fleets by more than 25 percent. Newest airline Akasa Air will continue to introduce about 2 B737 MAX each month and B787 Dreamliner deliveries have resumed.
“…our finance team is planning a reduced headcount as it simplifies processes, improves efficiency and shares selected work with an external partner. We expect fewer than 150 finance cuts at our US operations this year and will assess the future impact as the process continues in the coming years,” a Boeing spokesman told TOI.
At the same time, due to increasing market demand, Boeing has significantly increased the number of employees in engineering and manufacturing. We ensure stability in production and invest in engineering and innovation. Overall, we’ve added about 10,000 employees to the Boeing workforce this year, the spokesman added.
The company has simplified its corporate structure in recent years to reduce complexity and focus more resources on engineering, manufacturing and product development. Several corporate functions at Boeing, including IT and finance, have made changes to streamline their operations, resulting in reduced headcount in some corporate functions.
