Boeing has been awarded a $2.81 billion contract by the Republic of Korea Air Force to upgrade its fleet of 58 F-15K aircraft through 2037. The multi-year agreement covers structural reinforcements, avionics upgrades and integration of advanced radar and electronic warfare systems. Work will be performed at Boeing’s facilities in Pennsylvania and South Carolina and at Korean Aerospace Industries’ Changwon plant. The contract secures more than 1,200 jobs across Boeing’s defense segment and locks in sustainment work valued at nearly $180 million annually for the next 12 years, deepening the company’s footprint in the Indo-Pacific defense market.

Boeing has secured its biggest narrowbody order to date from Air Cambodia, with a firm commitment for 10 737-8 jets and options on 10 more. The deal, unveiled at the Singapore Airshow, will enable the carrier to expand its network across Southeast and Northeast Asia, where it currently serves routes to Vietnam, Thailand, China, Japan and Hong Kong. Each 737-8 offers a two-class configuration seating up to 178 passengers and delivers a 20% reduction in fuel burn and emissions compared to the airline’s existing fleet. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in late 2028, with Boeing providing pilot and maintenance training as part of a comprehensive support package.

Boeing and engine partner General Electric have identified a potential durability issue with a seal in the GE9X engine that powers the 777X, prompting additional testing and a review of manufacturing tolerances. Separately, Air India temporarily grounded one of its 787 Dreamliners after a pilot reported a possible defect in a fuel control switch—the same component under scrutiny in last year’s fatal Gujarat crash. Boeing has dispatched technical teams to support both investigations, and has communicated with the FAA and other regulators to ensure timely resolution. While no fleet-wide grounding has been ordered, these developments underscore the importance of rigorous component validation and ongoing supplier oversight.
