Boeing plans to resume production of commercial airplanes in a “phased approach” at its Puget Sound-region facilities starting April 20, the company said on Thursday. The re-start of production activities at plants in Renton, Everett, Auburn, and Frederickson will come a week after a partial resumption of mainly defense program-related work and involve 27,000 employees.
