Boeing has launched its global services unit, which will operate alongside its commercial airplanes, and defence, space and security divisions.
This unit, called Boeing Global Services, will focus on government, space and commercial customers worldwide.

Our services expertise, the global reach of our business, and our strong customer partnerships have us well-positioned to compete and win in this important sector."
