“We are working with our customer and seeking opportunities to redeploy employees across our company to minimise job losses and retain our talented teammates,” a Boeing spokesperson said by email on Friday.
Boeing expects to lay off hundreds of workers on its SLS moon rocket programme, fuelling speculation that NASA’s marquee space exploration initiative is poised for a shake-up under a second Donald Trump administration.
The US aerospace company cited revisions to NASA’s Artemis programme and cost expectations in a brief statement that cited the potential for roughly 400 fewer positions by April.
