Market Chatter: Boeing's 777 Freighter Production Stalled by Supplier Dispute

05:56 AM EDT, 10/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing (BA) has halted 777 freighter production for nearly two months due to a dispute with supplier Vaero over a critical wing component, also disrupting output of 767 aircraft, Reuters reported Saturday, citing a copy of Boeing's complaint. According to the report, Boeing said Vaero's halted deliveries disrupted production, costing the company up to $6.5 million a day. Despite a late-September settlement, 777 freighter production has yet to resume. Boeing is seeking to produce the component in-house after removing two partially assembled 777 freighters from its assembly line, while the 777X program remains unaffected, Reuters added. Boeing said Vaero did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
