Subaru, which makes the wings of the 777, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which builds the front and middle fuselage, revealed to Japanese public broadcaster NHK that they are experiencing delays in their production schedules.

Boeing workers in the United States rejected a new offer from the company on the eve, ignoring requests of great relevance to them such as the re-establishment of the pension plan.

Meanwhile, Japanese multinational engineering corporation Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, which produces parts for the wings of the 737 Max in Vietnam, said it had to delay its production schedule.

According to Japanese suppliers, the prolongation of the strike has a limited impact on the production of Boeing’s main aircraft, the 787.

Japan is now the company’s largest supplier outside the United States, with Boeing acknowledging partnerships with 150 Japanese companies.
