In late September 2026 the US Navy awarded Boeing a firm‑fixed‑price contract worth $16,667,607 to provide planning, analysis, engineering and program‑management support for shutting down the F/A‑18E/F Super Hornet and EA‑18G Growler production lines.
The final batch of new Super Hornets is scheduled to be delivered beginning in winter 2026, with the last delivery no later than spring 2027, after Congress in 2024 funded the purchase of 17 aircraft to keep the line open for two more years despite the Navy not requesting them.
About 60% of the shutdown work will be performed at Boeing’s St. Louis facility, 37% at El Segundo, California, and 3% at Bethpage, New York, with the effort not expected to be completed until November 2030, more than three years after the final Super Hornet is delivered.
