American aircraft maker Boeing laid off around 180 employees at its engineering technology centre in Karnataka's Bengaluru as part of a global workforce reduction exercise, according to a source cited in a news agency PTI report.The developmant comes in lines with Boeing's announcement last year of reducing global workforce of around 10 per cent.
Boeing has around 7,000 employees in India, a key market for the company.
The source cited in the report said up to 180 staff at the Boeing India Engineering Technology Center in Bengaluru were laid off in the December quarter of 2024.
There was no official statement from Boeing.
The above-mentioned source said “strategic adjustments” were made affecting limited positions while ensuring no adverse impact on customers or government operations.
The source said that some roles were removed and some new positions have also been created, adding that reductions in India have been more measured, with a clear focus on maintaining customer service, safety, and quality standards.
