RENTON, WA—Boeing Co. is facing a problem as it races to meet demand for single-aisle, fuel-efficient jets: Where to store unfinished 737s piling up at its factory near Seattle. Ine answer in late July was the taxiway of the small airport here, next to Boeing's factory there, reports the Wall Street Journal.
“Boeing is running out of space,” Renton public works administrator Gregg Zimmerman wrote to city council members in a July 27 memo about the taxiway plan. “They have encountered an emergency production challenge that threatens to interfere with their ability to keep their airplane production lines running.”
