Over the past 50 years, the tour has attracted more than 6 million visitors from around the world and is ready to inspire, educate and captivate many more. Since the tour was paused in 2020 due to the pandemic, the company has made enhancements including an updated route and accompanying visual components throughout the experience.
“We are thrilled to reopen our factory tour experience to visitors who want to see how Boeing airplanes are assembled and learn about the company’s role as a global leader in aviation,” said Christi Medlyn, Boeing Future of Flight general manager. “With the rebound in travel and tourism, we are pleased to once again share this exclusive look into one of the world’s most interesting factories.”
