Boeing has suffered a major IT outage, disrupting commercial and military production at factories across the United States.
The outage, first reported by The Air Current, came on the last day of the quarter. That is usually when Boeing aims to ship as much as possible for favorable financial results, but final commercial jet inspections and paperwork have ceased.
“We experienced an unplanned IT outage that affected some computer systems and applications,” Boeing said in a statement.
“The cause of the outage is understood — we have no reason to believe it is due to a cyberattack — and our IT team is working to bring all systems back online.”
The IT failure appears to involve internal systems, but Boeing is also a customer of all three cloud hyperscalers.
In 2022, the company announced that it would use Microsoft Cloud and AI to update its technology infrastructure and mission-critical applications. With Google, Boeing migrated hundreds of applications across multiple business groups and aerospace products to its cloud service.
It also said that it would migrate out of on-premise data centers to Amazon Web Services, starting in 2022.
The three cloud providers have not reported any outages or disruptions to their services.
