JAKARTA Boeing, an aircraft and satellite manufacturer, plans to sell the space division to save the company. Reportedly, the division's sales plan is entering its early stages.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, the idea of this sale was initiated by Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg last August. Several major projects will engage in these sales, such as Starliner spacecraft and support projects for the space station.

Ortberg merasa bahwa ini perlu dilakukan. Dalam panggilan pendapatan minggu ini, pimpinan Boeing itu menjelaskan bahwa penjualan kevisi ini tidak akan menghilangkan nuclei pesawat komersial dan sistem pertahanan yang sudah dikembangkan.

"Obviously, the core of our commercial aircraft and defense systems will remain in the hands of the Boeing Company for the long term. However, there may be some negligible things there that we can do more efficiently," Ortberg said.

Boeing will also experience some major changes as the company continues to suffer losses and money shortages. This was revealed from Boeing's revenue, which was revealed on Wednesday, October 23.

Boeing suffered a loss of 6.17 billion US dollars (Rp. 96 trillion). This loss is expected to continue until next year. Therefore, Ortberg took action that was considered more favorable to the company.

This loss was caused by many things, such as allegations of fraud over the 737 Max plane crash and problems on Starliner aircraft. The biggest loss was seen in Starliner's management as this plane cost NASA and trapped two astronauts on the space station for months.
