Recognising the ongoing vital role the region will play in the future success of its airliner products, Boeing has signed a strategic agreement with Abu Dhabi-based aerostructures manufacturer Mubadala Development Company (Mubadala) for the supply of advanced composites and machined metals for the 787 and 777X.
The agreement expands the long-term role of Mubadala as a Tier 1 supplier to Boeing. Through the new agreement, Mubadala will supply as much as US$2.5 billion in components to Boeing’s commercial programs.
