(AP) – Boeing Co. will move the headquarters for its defense unit
from St. Louis to the Washington, D.C., area.
The move announced Tuesday by Chicago-based Boeing affects about a dozen top
executives and some support staff. It will not impact the day-to-day operations
for defense workers in St. Louis.
A Boeing spokesman told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the move reflects the
company’s desire to be closer to those in power in Washington, and is unrelated
to recent criticism from President-elect Donald Trump over the potential cost of
the Air Force One presidential jet program.
