Boeing says unplanned IT outage disrupted computer systems and applications, complicating end-of-quarter production and delivery

Boeing reported an unplanned IT (“computer systems and applications”) outage that affected operations, with disruption spilling into the final day of the quarter. The timing lands as the company faces high backlog levels—exceeding 17,000 jets—and a global fleet already older than planned, raising the stakes for production and delivery reliability.
