Boeing to cut 5% of workforce

(CNN)– Boeing has announced plans to cut its workforce by 5% as it pulls back on planned production increases.

The employee cuts will come through layoffs and attrition, according to an email sent to workers.

The airplane maker did not say how many jobs are impacted or in what locations.

A Boeing executive told employees they will be notified in December.

The announcement comes shortly after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified the 7-37 max-7 and max-10 aircraft.

The certifications represent major signs of progress in the aircraft maker’s ongoing recovery.
