On September 29, 2025, Boeing announced that it will relocate the Super Hornet upgrade work from its current facilities to St. Louis. The move is part of the ongoing Super Hornet upgrade program, a major defense contract for the U.S. Navy.
The relocation is not related to the ongoing machinists' strike. A Boeing spokesperson stated that the activity is independent of the strike, and the union and company resumed negotiations on Monday, indicating that the relocation is proceeding as planned.
By shifting the upgrade work to St. Louis, Boeing aims to maintain production continuity and mitigate potential disruptions. The decision reflects the company’s efforts to keep the Super Hornet upgrade program on schedule.
