Boeing headquarters will move from Chicago to Arlington, Virginia, the airline company announced in a statement Thursday.
In a statement, Boeing said its campus in Arlington, Va., will serve as the company's new global headquarters. Boeing said the move east puts it geographically closer to one of its biggest customers, the Pentagon, and close to the Federal Aviation Administration, which certifies Boeing passenger planes.
Boeing also plans to develop a research and technology hub in Northern Virginia. The company said it will continue to maintain a"significant presence" in Chicago and the surrounding area. In a statement, Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth expressed their disappointment with the announcement.
