THE FUTURE IS BUILT HERE Boeing in the UK Boeing has partnered with the United Kingdom for more than 80 years. We’ve grown to almost 2,500 employees — Boeing’s largest European employee base — in 65 locations, across three main business areas: commercial, defence and global services. We have a long-standing relationship with British industry, the armed forces and the air transport supply chain. Nearly 400 Boeing aeroplanes are operated in the UK with 12 carriers, and 136 Boeing Chinook, Apache and Globemaster aircraft provide battle- winning, life-saving capability to the UK armed forces. The UK is an important market, supplier base and source of some of the world’s most innovative technology partners.
