Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen faces cyber attack

Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen has faced a cyber attack that affected certain flight planning products and services.
Jeppesen, which provides analytical services to air carriers, said on its website it was experiencing technical issues with some products, services and communication channels and was working to restore functionality as soon as possible.

“There has been some flight planning disruption, but at this time we have no reason to believe that this incident poses a threat to aircraft or flight safety,” Boeing said in an email statement.

Boeing earlier shared plans at an investor meeting in Seattle on Wednesday to accelerate its turnaround with a ramp-up in jet deliveries and higher free cash flow.

Boeing reported third-quarter revenue of $16.0 billion, loss per share of ($5.49) and core loss per share of $6.18. Boeing said third-quarter results reflect higher commercial volume and losses on fixed-price defense development programs.
