Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Boeing in effect permanently shuttered its Moscow Design Center, formerly the company’s preeminent overseas engineering facility that at one time housed about 1,500 engineers.
“Right now, it’s gone,” said Lynne Hopper, Boeing vice president of engineering strategy and operations.
Since the summer, Boeing has been facilitating travel for about 100 Russian engineers and their families who wanted out — a process now complete — and is arranging jobs for them at its facilities in other countries.
