Former Boeing holdings in Canada

The Boeing Company has been producing aircraft in Canada since the 1930s:

  • Boeing Toronto, from 1997 to 2005, was a manufacturer of Boeing 717 wings, Delta rocket parts, the C-17 transport and the 737 airliner. This was a former McDonnell-Douglas Canada location which had been used by them from 1967 to 1997 which was absorbed by Boeing in 1997. KC-10 and MD-11 aircraft wings and related components, MD-80 wings, empennage and cabin floors, and McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet and CF-18 side panels and pylons were made there at that time. This was the Malton facility adjacent to Toronto Pearson International Airport that before McDonnell-Douglas it had been the Avro Canada plant where the Avro CF-105 Arrow was built. The plant was closed in 2005 after Boeing ended production of 717 and most of the buildings have since been torn down. TransAlta Corporation co-generation plant built in 1992 remained after Boeing plant demolished but it was finally demolished after 2019 following impact assessment.[8]
