An Era Ends For Boeing: Company Halts Widebody Plane Production

It’s the end of an era for the Boeing Company.

A very short but popular era.

The airplane manufacturer is stopping production of its widebody airplanes.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, Boeing has had a disastrous 15-month period in financial results.

Delivery records show that there is only one final delivery this year by the company. The plane was popular because it had good fuel efficiency and carried 392 passengers. But it was expensive to produce and market and Boeing had its other financial issues.

It was the best-selling widebody of all time. But it only began production less than five years ago.
