    BOEING is resuming all Commercial Airplanes production in a phased approach at its Washington state Puget Sound facilities this week after suspending operations last month in response to the Wuhan flu epidemic, reports the American Journal of Transportation.

    "This phased approach ensures we have a reliable supply base, our personal protective equipment in place to resume essential work for our customers," said Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief Stan Deal.

    Some 27,000 people in the Puget Sound area will return to production of the 747, 767, 777 and 787 programmes, supporting transport infrastructure, cargo services and national defence.

    The 737 programme will resume working toward restarting production of the 737 MAX. Boeing South Carolina remains in a suspension of operations at this time. Earlier this week Boeing restarted mostly defence production operations in the region with 2,500 people.
