Boeing has played a role in Australia's aerospace industry through its products and services and has 3000 employees spread across 38 locations in every state and territory except Tasmania. With an investment of more than $800 million, Boeing generates approximately $400 million in export revenue for Australia through its commercial and defence products and services.[4]

History of Boeing in Australia Edit

Boeing began working in Australia through its subsidiary Boeing Aerostructures Australia, which was formerly known as de Havilland Australia and established in 1927.[5] Boeing acquired de Havilland Australia in 2000 as its second direct investment in the continent since purchasing Rockwell International in 1996.[6] Rockwell Australia became Boeing Australia Ltd (now Boeing Defence Australia) in 1996.[7] In 1997, Boeing bought AeroSpace Technologies of Australia, which until the 1980s was known as Government Aircraft Factories.[8] The five remaining subsidiaries were acquired as follows: Jeppesen in 2000,[9] Alteon in 2002,[10] Aviall in 2006,[11] and Insitu Pacific in 2009.[12]

Boeing Defense, Space & Security Edit

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) products and services placed in or destined for Australia include:

In Australia, BDS is represented in by its business unit Boeing Defence Australia (BDA), which is a defence aerospace enterprise. BDA supports some of the largest and most complex programs for the Commonwealth of Australia, the Australian Defence Force, and commercial customers. BDA also conducts operations and maintenance for classified programs and Australian Government sites, and operates in line with the three divisions of BDS - Boeing Military Aircraft, Global Services & Support, and Network & Space Systems.[19]

These types of innovations in technology and investments are due to Boeing's long term view of its business in Australia; its investment in the training and development of its people, and its deep belief in research and development to create the next generation of manufacturing technology.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes Edit

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) is a manufacturer of commercial planes.[20] In Australia, BCA is represented by BCA Sales, which operates out of Boeing Australia's Sydney office and provides sales and marketing support of BCA products, customer engineering, and quality control/procurement functions.

BCA opened its first Australian office in Sydney in 1959 when Qantas became the first international customer for Boeing's first passenger jet, the 707, which changed air travel for Australians by drastically reducing flight times to the rest of the world. The Boeing 737 has also played an important role in the growth of aviation in Australia.[21]

BCA is also supported in Australia by Boeing Aerostructures Australia (BAA, formerly Hawker de Havilland, Government Aircraft Factories and Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation). BAA designs, tests, certifies and produces world class advanced structures. Despite predominantly commercial customers, BAA is also responsible for the design and manufacture of structures to the defence industry. Based at Melbourne's Fishermans Bend, the company has a long heritage in Australian aviation that began with its legacy companies in 1927 and has included the manufacture of aircraft which served in the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II.

BAA is Australia's only designer and manufacturer of advanced composite aerostructure components for commercial aircraft. Boeing Aerostructures Australia manufactures the 'moveable trailing edge' control surfaces of the 787 using a unique carbon fibre production technology developed in Victoria called resin infusion. This is Australia's largest aerospace contract valued at $5 billion over 20 years, and Fishermans Bend is the only Boeing location in the world to apply the unique resin infusion system that enables the components to be cured without a traditional autoclave. Boeing Aerostructures Australia has invested $70 million in site improvements to support 787 production increases over the next decade.

In addition to work on the 787 moveable trailing edge, Boeing Aerostructures Australia's over 1000 employees produce flight control products such as 737 rudders, winglets and sole source supply for ailerons, as well as 777 cove lip doors, elevators and rudders.{https://www.boeing.com.au/boeing-in-australia/subsidiaries/boeing-aerostructures-australia.page}

Another component of BCA is its Commercial Aviation Services (CAS) unit, which provides materials and engineering services to Boeing customers in-country. In Australia, Alteon Training Australia, Aviall, Jeppesen Australia, and Jeppesen Marine come under CAS' family of companies.

Boeing Field Service is also part of CAS. Field Service provides on-site technical advice to Boeing customers and can call resolve operator problems with access to BCA technical resources. Field Service representatives are located in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Boeing Research and Technology Edit

In September 2003, Boeing Company initiated with the University of Queensland School of IT and Electrical Engineering (ITEE) a new Boeing Systems Engineering Teaching Laboratory to fill skills shortages in aviation and aerospace industry in Australia.[22] Boeing also made a $1.55M grant for the founding of a Boeing Professorship in Systems Engineering for 5 years occupied by Professor Peter A Lindsay. Boeing provided funding with respect to the Wedgetail 737 Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) project with the Commonwealth of Australia.

This fostered Defence Industries Queensland in Queensland Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning with Boeing Defence Australia at RAAF Base Amberley.

In March 2008, Boeing established a branch of its advanced research and development (R&D) unit – Boeing Research & Technology (BR&T) – in Australia to provide an R&D organisation for its in-country businesses and to collaborate with Australian R&D organisations, including universities and private sector R&D providers, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO).[23]
