Boeing announced that it expects to complete new-build production of the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter aircraft in late 2025 following delivery of the final U.S. Navy fighters. "Production could be extended to 2027 if the Super Hornet is selected by an international customer," the company said. "We are planning for our future, and building fighter aircraft is in our DNA. As we invest in and develop the next era of capability, we are applying the same innovation and expertise that made the F/A-18 a workhorse for the U.S. Navy and air forces around the world for nearly 40 years," added Steve Nordlund, Boeing Air Dominance vice president and St. Louis site leader.
