WICHITA: Airplane maker Boeing Co. says it plans to cut about 800 positions at a facility in Wichita next year.
The Chicago-based company says the reductions are a result of some programs ending and a delay in a US Air Force tanker replacement program.
The layoffs will affect managers, as well as salaried and hourly workers. Boeing says it will deliver 60-day layoff notices to about 76 employees on Friday. The rest of the layoffs will continue throughout next year.
Boeing's Wichita facility currently employs about 3,000 people.
