Aug. 4, 1981, was a memorable day for Boeing. The company’s first new commercial transport in more than a dozen years, the Boeing 767, rolled out of the Everett, Washington, plant in front of 15,000 onlookers. This widebody airplane was the first of a new generation of Boeing commercial transports designed for the fuel-conscious 1980s. Using the latest technology, the 767 promised to burn 30 percent less fuel than the generation of transports it was replacing. (Courtesy photo)

Boeing will stop production of the Everett-built 767 in 2027

In an email Friday to employees, Boeing’s CEO also said the troubled aerospace giant will cut its global workforce by 10%.
