At the Singapore Airshow, Boeing announced its largest-ever landing gear exchange contract, agreeing to support over 75 aircraft in the Singapore Airlines Group’s 737 MAX and 787 fleets. Under the multi-year agreement, Boeing Global Services will supply exchange units and perform overhauls through a managed inventory network, aiming to extend landing gear life, reduce maintenance-related ground time and lower spare parts requirements. Boeing highlighted that the program leverages its global distribution channels and rapid deployment capability to deliver serviceable gear closer to airline operations, targeting a significant improvement in dispatch reliability and fleet availability. Boeing confirmed that airlines can expect delivery of upgraded 787-9 and 787-10 Dreamliner aircraft in the first half of the year. The enhancements include increased maximum takeoff weights, enabling an additional 400 miles of range or 5–6 tons of extra payload capacity compared with earlier production models. Boeing’s senior leadership noted that the modifications address airline requests for extended long-haul capabilities and improved cargo economics. Production rates for the Dreamliner family remain on track, with several carriers already lining up slots for the enhanced variants to support new route launches and fleet modernization plans. Boeing’s defense division revealed plans to cut approximately 300 roles within its supply-chain operations, with notifications set to go out to affected employees this week. The move is part of a broader efficiency drive aimed at streamlining procurement and logistics functions amid a challenging contracting environment. While Boeing did not disclose specific cost-savings targets, industry analysts estimate that reducing headcount in non-manufacturing areas could yield annual savings in the mid-tens of millions of dollars. The company emphasized that the reduction will be executed in phases to maintain support for ongoing defense programs.
