| The Boeing Company |
|
Founded
in 1916, Boeing evokes vivid images of the amazing products
and services that define aerospace. Each day, more than three
million passengers board 42,300 flights on Boeing jetliners,
more than 345 satellites put into orbit by Boeing launch
vehicles pass overhead, and 6,000 Boeing military aircraft
stand guard with air forces of 23 countries and every branch
of the U.S. armed forces.
We are the leading
aerospace company in the world and a top U.S. exporter. We
hold more than 6,000 patents, and our capabilities and related
services include formulation of system-of-systems solutions,
advanced information and communications systems, financial
services, homeland security, defense systems, missiles, rocket
engines, launch systems and satellites.
But Boeing is about much more than statistics or products,
no matter how awe-inspiring. It’s also about the enterprising spirit of
our people working together to provide customers the best solutions possible.
Our workforce of 166,800 people, with more than 26,000 advanced degrees, is one
of the most highly skilled, educated and motivated in the world. In addition,
we are partnered with hundreds of thousands of talented people at 11,349 suppliers
worldwide.
In the years ahead, we see tremendous opportunities for connecting
and protecting people, as well as streamlining our supplier network to increase
profitability and improve efficiency. Among the challenges under development:
a new global air traffic management system, and a global-mobile communications
system that will allow passengers on any moving platform to be connected to high-bandwidth
data.
