EVERETT, WA—The Boeing Co. plans to stop building the 787 Dreamliner at its assembly plant here by mid-2021 and consolidate production of the jet at its factory in North Charleston, SC.
The move would leave the Everett factory with three wide-body jets to produce: the 777, 767 and 747. The first 777X delivery is targeted for 2022. That jet will be assembled on the existing 777 assembly line, rather than its own line. The 747 is scheduled to end production in 2022. The KC-46 tanker, a military derivative of the 767, is also built in Everett.
