Boeing announced Friday a significant shift of both current and future engineering work out of Puget Sound, to Southern California and South Carolina.
The company also said it is exploring opening a new engineering design center in Kiev, Ukraine, to add to the one it already has in Moscow, Russia.
The most significant immediate impact locally comes from the decision to move engineering support for airlines that fly out-of-production airplanes — such as older 737 classics and 757s — from Tukwila to Long Beach, Calif., within six to nine months.
